My 1970-71 kit had beautiful clear maple interior shells. Excellent bearing edges and tuned up great!-Mark
Do you still have that great looking blue sparkle kit in the pics?
I love clear interior 3-ply's. I've got a big kit that I bought used in the '70's and it has a mix of clear and granitone interiors (clear 14" & 26", granitone 16" & 18", plus a set of concert/melodic toms in 3-ply granitone).
Hi Hoppy!
Unfortunately, I no longer have the blue sparkle Ludwig kit. I purchased it in 2011 and after a few years I was no longer playing it. I sold them about 2 years ago. A great kit with wonderful shells!

Thanks so much for all your feedback everyone. I wanted to introduce you to some new friends. A matching serial 1968 Ludwig Super Classic in Gold Sparkle. Clear interiors, all the shells are in great shape, seams are tight. No extra holes except the on the bass drum. The rail is there but a later tom mount was added - 60s I think. Gold Sparkle is my first choice Ludwig finish. My Dad bought me my first snare drum at 12 and it was Gold Sparkle and that high school set I talked about earlier was Gold Sparkle. They sound amazing. I'm going to find an orphan 12 for the occasional Hollywood set up. Off to play and tune some more!
Very nice drum set there my friend.
