Boys,

I hope you take the time to peruse my offering and thank you for doing so.

For sale:

1962 Ludwig Acrolite (first year of issue) it features a pre-serial keystone badge and a red felt baseball bat muffler. The drum is in excellent condition. See photos. There are a couple of tiny nicks that you have to hunt for to see in two panels but otherwise the drum is in excellent condition. Everything works. Great sounding Acro. Photos below.

$275.00 - plus $25.00 shipping in lower 48. Price firm.

6.5”x14” Jenkins & Martin spun fiberglass snare drum. (See photos below) I could talk about what a great instrument this is but I would only end up talking myself out of selling it. I want the drum to go to someone who already knows what this instrument is and how special it is.

$375.00 - plus $30.00 shipping in lower 48. Price firm

13”x9” clear acrylic rack Tom with early 70’s Ludwig lugs and hardware. The shell is from a company that makes and sells a complete line of acrylic drum shells for DIY drum projects. The classic lugs, hoops and mount are vintage Ludwig. Nice drum, would make a great addition to any Vistalite kit.

I use Paint to resize my photos to a size that can up uploaded. Might try that to post them.
Good luck with the sales.

You can also try emailing the photos to yourself. You will be prompted to specify the size of the photos (at least on Apple products you will).

Another way to get a smaller file size if you're using Windows...
Call the picture up in the photo viewer of your choice, then use the "Snipping Tool" to capture the image at a reduce file size, save/name the new file to the folder of your choice I usually place the new file on the desktop, upload a copy, then send the desktop file to the recycle bin or a storage folder if I'll likely re-use the image.

No stamp.


The pre-serial number keystone badge and the red felt baseball bat muffler is how you date the drum. Ludwig started adding serial numbers in 62’/63’. This Acro is a super clean survivor. If you love these old keystone Acrolites from the 60’s this is the one you want to own.
