That's my kit! I really had no idea what it cost back when it was new. Where did you learn this? What is the value now?

I was in college during the release date of the Stainless steel series. I wanted a set from day one, that was the price I got from several ludwig dealers. one dealer had a quadra plus kit on the floor, but I wanted the pro beat kit. So I bought a Gretsch kit instead. couldn't afford the Ludwigs at the time.and now they sale for 1/2 that price.

Amazing!

Thanks for the information.

Thanks guys....

I'm thinking that it would be nice to add 10" & 13" concert toms (did they make a 13' concert?) and then maybe add a 16" double floor.... god then I would need another bass....lol GAS D' Drummer

Yes odd but these steel drums along with Ludwig vistalite did not sell good.I was told at one time Ludwig wrap these shells in plastic to use them up..They also did the same thing on the solid white and solid black vistalites shells and wraped them in chrome...Mikey
