Hi everyone,
I'm Keith. I'm new here. I recently bought a set of 69' Champagne Ludwigs. They are in mint condition, im talkin museum quality. the only issues are some very, very minor paint chips on the bass drum hoops. All the wraps feel silky smooth and appear to have little to no fading. You can only tell when you take the hoops off and still its hard to see.
Details: 5pc. champagne. all keystone badges. Serial#s start with 72 except BD#2 , it's # is 70xxxx. round knob mufflers (white),unpainted interior
2 - 14x20 virgin bass drums (no mounting hardware, tom rails, or holes) they have the curved "disappearing spike" spurs and original batter and reso heads.
1 - 8x12 tom
1 - 9x13 tom ......one of the toms has original batter but in very bad shape
1 - 16x16 fl tom ...floor tom had ludwig striders heavy heads
double tom stand
2 speed king peddles
hi hat stand
2 original felt strips
All drums are dated Jul 8th 1969. floor tom date is not visible anymore. I payed $950 for everything listed.
So my question is, What Model are they? and what snare would complete this kit? I am looking at a 64-65' champagne Jazz Fest snare on ebay now, or would a supraphonic be the correct drum or other?
Let me know if you need more details on the kit, I may be able to get some pics eventually.
Thanks,
Keith
