That should leverage you to an under-400 range of an offer. Using the facts, not the feelings. You should consider this. Wrap is going to run you 300 or so for all drums. The parts, list in our wanted section for that stuff.

If you can pay closer to 400 that would be better,the good thing is that it looks like the more expensive parts,like bass drum hoops t rods and claws are there,the lugs for the floor tom shouldn't cost that much used,I think you may have a mixed kit there,because of the rail mount on one bass and the later post tom mount reciever on the other,the shells inside look painted black,I would think about taking them down to the wood,when you pull the wrap off you may be suprised,but most of the 70's ludwig shells I have seen stripped have not been pretty enough to finish with a clear stain,so you might have to figure the cost of wrap into it,and that many drums plus two kicks would be your biggest expense.More pics would help.

I am going over to take some pictures tonight. I will post the pictures this evening for everyones feedback.

Where are our manners? Welcome to the forum! :)

As for wrapping the kit, you've gotten some good advice so far. Wrapping or refinishing can be worthwhile if you don't plan to recoup your investment in the set. It's a good option for a player's kit, though you'll want to make sure you don't pay too much for the kit to begin with if you're going to sink more money into wrapping it.

Here are the main sources for wrap:

www.drummaker.com

www.jamminsam.com

www.precisiondrum.com

You can expect to pay about $200-$300 for a three-piece kit, depending on the wrap you choose. There are cheaper options like solids and satins, but for a vintage kit, it's hard not to choose a sparkle or a pearl. Me, I'm constantly tempted to try out the bronze glass glitter from drummaker.com... it looks gorgeous in the photos, and for a glass glitter, it's well priced.

Let us know what you do!

that serial number you mentioned would be closer to 69 or 70. if you dropped a digit, then it would be 65.
