I picked this Ludwig kit up last week. But I think I'm going to sell it. I haven't had time to clean it and polish it yet, but I think it's a really nice vintage kit. The wrap is tight and original with no problems, and no extra drilled holes.

The matching 8 Lug snare drum is dated Jan 1961 (white interior) No serial# on badge, Round knob & Muffler, and original heads top & bottom.

The floor Tom 16"x16" is dated Feb. 1961 (white interior), no serial# on badge, Round knob & Muffler.

The tom 9"x13" is dated Jan 1963 Red ink (white interior), no serial# on badge, Baseball Bat & square Muffler.

The bass drum 14"x22" has the Ludwig Transition badge on it. As you can see from the pics, the inside is not painted. There is a date stamp but I can't read it clearly Dec 18, 19??

Also, the bass drum is the same sparkle blue, under the lugs, as the other toms but, has it has turned to a darker blue.

There is nothing wrong with the kit, it's just that it is a mixed match kit and nobody seems to like it and says it's not worth very much since it is not a factory assembled kit. That's why I'm selling it. If interested I will take $550 for the set. Cymbal arm included, but cymbal & snare stand not included. Thanks
