I am thinking about buying a re-wrapped vintage Ludwig kit. The badges are not intact so I can not date the kit. However the Kick is 16" deep which makes me think that is from the 70's. Does anyone know when Ludwig started making 16x22 kick drums?
This was pasted from the Craigslist post.
Up for sale is a really rare find. A vintage, maple Ludwig kit, re-wrapped in stunning Green Glass Glitter. It looks incredible under stage lights, and the sizes of this kit make it a great gigging kit for small or large rooms. All drums feature clear interiors, maple reinforcement rings, and tune with ease. Again, this is a fantastic gigging kit.
16X22 kick (with natural wood hoops)
9X13 rack
13X15 floor 1
14X16 floor 2
Also included it a heavy duty DW stand for the rack rom. Floor toms come complete with legs.
The kit does have some minor issues... The wrap is lifting a little at the seam of the floor toms, but this is an easy fix. There is also a minor tear in the wrap, on the bottom of the kick drum, however, this is not visible when the drum is set up. Also, the rack tom and floor tom leg mounts have been upgraded to more heavy-duty mounts. This is not a kit for a collector, but rather for someone that is going to play it. I've used this kit for smaller club gigs, and it gets compliments from soundmen and audience members everywhere it goes.
