Amazing but there's that bad karma thing biting me in the arse years down the road. I'd go back and offer seller couple hundred cash and make their day :)

Welcome back in the drummers world.

Here at VDF you can find the most afficionados and respectful people of old -and sometimes- dusty gear.

The Ludwig is beautiful, and as you, i love to change an old stone in a gem.

Like you do with your Lud.

An humble piece of music history.

You do a nice job and i'm sure that everybody here like to seat at your drum stool and have a talk-&-beer with ya.

And i'm wondering to imagine the way(s) a drumkit had to follow, in 50 years, from the factory to a yard sale.

Congratulations, happy man.

"Dreams do come true!" Thanks for sharing the story and the pic. Anybody who wouldn't be excited about that find is either dead or has absolutely no interest at all in vintage drums. ENJOY!

Now ... about the location of that neighborhood again (lol)!
