Hi folks,
There is an interesting kit for sale here locally...
Blue/Olive badge 13,14,18,22 in black panther wrap.
https://akroncanton.craigslist.org/msg/d/vintage-ludwig-black-panther/6744415682.html
With the winter weather setting in around here I may need a clean-up project. I bet that 18" floor tom would sound awesome! I'd love to hear any thoughts you have about the price, condition, etc.
Thanks!
Those 3 ply shells are great sounding.
The icing is the 18" floor and maybe the 14"
Looks to be in nice shape for panther.
Price is ok not a steal.
very nice kit and shells.
It would go nice with my 12/13/16/and 22 but don't worry I don't live anywhere near.
Good luck

I think it's a good deal, especially with the snare. I doubt that will last long, or it wouldn't where I'm at.
I think the price is pretty good. He mentions Acrolite. That is not an Acrolite in the pics.
Odd that one of the rack toms has a Granitone interior. Was that common (or at least not unheard of) for those particular shells? Anytime I see Granitone, I immediatley think Ludwig "Standards".
Not bad, especially if it does come with an Acro.

Black Panthers came in both clear maple and granitone interiors. I have both. In Ludwig's "infinite wisdom" of those years, they'd even sometimes send out both interior types on the same set of drums. LOL
Did you get it Mr.Toast?
I see it is not on craigslist anymore.

Hi Wayne,
Alas, I did not buy the Black Panther...it was super cool (especially that 18" floor tom) but I much prefer smaller kits. It was a good enough deal that I considered buying it to flip, but didn't pull the trigger. I have not seen it on eBay or Reverb, so I'm hoping it found a good home and will be making LOUD music here locally for many years to come.
