Need Help with value of drum sets for sale

Posts: 30 Threads: 19

Hi, I need to liquidate my husband's vintage collection (a lot of stuff) and could use some help with valuation. I have interest right now in two different sets but am having trouble coming up with prices. Is this a good place to ask for help? Thank you!

1960 Slingerland Radio King 5 drum set in white marine pearl - 22", 16", 13", 12"(add on but exact match), 5 1/2x14 matching one-ply maple super strainer 8 lug snare. Everything in excellent to mint condition and includes tom mount, one bass drum mounted cymbal stand, Tempo bass pedal and hi hat hardware.

1964 Ludwig Classic 6 drum set in pink champagne sparkle - 22", 16", 14",13", 12", 5x14 matching Pioneer 6 lug snare. White interiors with nickel hardware. Excellent condition including original and complete hardware set up (Atlas hi hat, SpeedKing pedal.) Photos in post that follows....

Caren,

You definitely came to the right place...As VM2K mentioned, if you can post pics it will help alot...You may have to resize the pics because there are size restrictions...

We also have a for sale section here (if you didn`t already know) where you can post items for sale...We have a great group here that take alot of pride and care into looking after their vintage drums...

Cheers

Your husband has good taste. Both kits easily over $1,000 to start. And I see a sky blue pearl it as well close by.

I assume you're located in the U.S. and are willing to ship?

Talk about a gold mine! If you have any Ludwig School fest or similar snare drums I am interested. Your husband has quite the collection!
