So here are a few crappy pics of my new Jazzette set from 1967.
12x18" bass drum
14x14" floor tom
8x12" tom
1st year production. 3-ply with White interiors all date stamped 1967.
Consecutive serial numbers. Original gold sparkle wrap.
Bearing edges are B+ condition and they sound GREAT!
I bought these from a friend in Manhatten and I'm trying to find out the history of the drums.
I feel pretty lucky to have found these in such good condition.
It's been a fun week so far with these.
Wow those look great, check out my natural maple jazzette in the gallery.
Beautiful! The bass drum mounted cymbal bracket is not original and not Ludwig. I love gold sparkle!
yeah, looks like a slingerland. awesome kit!!
Did you buy this for $1600?
Paid about 2K when all the shipping and import taxes were done.
Gotta find a Ludwig cymbal mount.
And had to fix a couple of drilled holes in the floor tom where some nut probably mounted a cowbell. Cowbells are for cows in switzerland, not on Ludwig Jazzette's!
Very nice!! I love the jazzette. Been shown before but here is my 1972-ish jazzette in silver sparkle. I have since added a period correct B/O badge jazzfest. Originally I thought they were 74-ish time frame but now think they are slightly older. great color you have! I also love those maple ones in the gallery.
Here's mine
No wait. it's a down beat LOL
Awsome drums. Even for it's size. I like the lows

If your kick were 18x12, THAT would be my dream kit right there--Jazzette in green sparkle, keystone badges w/maple interiors, matching jazzfest...
I wouldn't turn down a downbeat in the meantime, though!
seems the normal downbeat's kick is 20x14, this one is 20x12 so half way there :-) and this one is green glass glitter, rewrap..nonetheless..
