One of the very last out of the Chicago factory, transition badge with no serial number (they'd already shipped the number machine to Monroe, NC). Plus...it's one of the rarer ones that came out of the factory with bowtie lugs instead of Imperial lugs. Size is 5x14. Some flaking of chrome (as usual) so it's not perfect but very shiny overall and has been in a humidity controlled environment. Rims and hoops are in very nice condition as are the lugs and sounds superb. I've even kept silica gel packets in the case with it to absorb humidity and the flaking has never gotten worse. Comes with a Kaces III case and PureSound snare wires. I'll let it go for $235 including shipping. If you're interested, PM me. I'd rather sell it here than on eBay and will use the money to find another Ludwig for the collection. Not looking to get rich, just selling for someone who wants a great snare for for recording or playing.

I'm also a big fan of vintage Japanese stuff. Check it out.

I will just know when I hear it. I don't have enough experience to know weights and what not but I found that Steve Maxwells site has a lot of sound files with their cymbals. It also tells their weight. This really helped me get a better idea of what Im looking for. If you are on a quest for cymbals I suggest checking out that site.

I have a 1963-64 ? 54 outfit It is my nephews it is in decent shape but would I am sure need re-storing though it is remarkable condition for it age and what it life has been. It has been in storage for several years now, in original fiberboard cases. This kit still has the original bottom heads that ave the logo on them and a stamp from the music shop from Detriot. I am looking to sell this for my nephew as he needs the money, and am considering taking it to the Chicago drum show does anyone or could anyone throw me a ballpark figure on what I should ask for it?? A local drum pro claimed that this kit could bring 15K there but I question his judgement after doing research on this kit and selling prices. it is untouched original but no cow bell or kick drum pedal as they broke that when young, one of the stands is missing but I am looking for that it should be around, but rest is original.... Royal Ace snare,,even Avedis cymbals and throne, it is faded some but Aqua marine sparkle... I could use some honest input that might save me a trip to Chicago as of now I plan on taking it there to sell....I am a Amp Tech so I am out of my element and thought I could use some good advice.. I wish I had a pic to post maybe get one up later today as I need to clean the kit up today, am I wasting my time thinking this could be worth 2,000$-15 K Is what this drum guy told me, he has held a couple worlds records or claims to have, Shoot he is probably a member here on this site. To go or not to go that is the question LOL I could use some senior member advice or anybody that know there stuff cause I am thinking I would be lucky to pull 2K for this kit from the research Ive done, could this kit be worth 15k ???? or am I being shined on ??
