I bought my only set of drums in 1964, Ludwig Blue Oyster with a large floor tom. Also had Zildiign cymbols, 14" hi-hats, 24" & 18". One was a rider, one was a crash. I played throughout high sch & collage. But when I got accepted into Grad Sch I had to sell them; little did I know what a mistake. I bought the set from one owner, a kid who barely used them for a yr or so, I paid 350.00; and I sold them for 350.00 to a new drummer teen.
Now I want my musical youth back. Realistically what would my identical set cost me from a fair, reputable person?
What is the real quality, and sound difference between 1960s Ludwigs set, and 2015 era set?
Am I merely dreaming of re-creating such a magnificent set ?
Thanks for your consideration,
