David is the man.

Now, you know we love you LuddyDude, but goodness knows...there only needs to be ONE of you. Alternatives are just too frightening to consider. :p

Thanks Michael. BTW....did you get the lugs yet?

Here ya go! Thank you so much. Excellent look for this kit. Ludwig classic lugs on the floor, Ludwig small classics on the 12, Ludwig club date lugs on the bass, and Ludwig snare lugs. Wild stuff.

Too cool for school, Teach!!

In regards to the Eagle Kits, BII and BIII disliked the drums and the Eagle idea.....

Turns out that they were being sent back to Ludwig from dealers because the eagles were coming out.

In good Ludwig fasion they covered the ones that never sold with a wrap...

So there is a good chance people out there have these eagle sets with a finish on them.

Obviously a Selmer idea.....I never cared for the myself. Never knew about the wrap over the eagle sets......must have been like the black panther over the mod orange/citrus mod/psychadelic red kits we've all heard about....

Hi Actually i have a UK magazine review of this kit in Regular non-power sizes, and a picture.

My only problem with gigging the power size kit is the toms weigh a ton and kept 'slipping' back to rest upon one another..cheers !

I have an opportunity to buy a kit like this one for 600$ with all hardware. Is this a good deal ? I know close to nothing about vintage drums and Ludwig and this would be my first 'close to a vintage' buy. I'm looking for a touring kit and I also would like to know if they were a top of the line kit when they were first commercialised.

Any insight is appreciated,

Sébastien

Considering the rarity, I'd say $600 is a good deal, if the drums are in decent shape.

Someone was selling a set like this on ScamBay like a year ago. It sold for $750.00 w/o snare. Ludwig-dude (the real one) do you know if they were issued on different sizes or just the standard configuration?
