My 1960 Ludwig Downbeat kit

[O-Lugs]

That's what we call a matched kit!!!! She's going to be 48 in a few more days! happy birthday!!

What a beautiful kit!

I own a similar 5 piece set that I have owned since new (1969). Ludwig Oyster Blue Pearl is the best finish ever!

Don't ever sell these - but if you have to - contact me first.

I hope you are still playing these drums.

Take Care

That's just sweet.

Do you take them to the park often ????

Wow, That is my son's birthday, only 7.21.00. If you ever decide to let them go, and it happens to be around that time....
His first kit is like many of ours, an old Japanese, not a Chinese, like so many today.

I had a set of those way back in 1970-75, I had an LM401 snare drum though. They recorded great, listen here, the top 2 projects,
