Bump

I was just curious as to if the 1964 Ludwig sets are rarer than most other years. Once I have all the parts is it worth around $1,500?

This set also came with two 15 inch Ludwig paiste cymbals(Swiss made) and a 16 inch also. A Ludwig Practice pad, Vintage Slingerland snare stand, and a late 60's pearl snare. Here are some pictures of the other stuff. The practice pad really has me stumped. Any information on the set, cymbals, practice pad would make my day.

If I were to buy it, it should only go for around 650 'cause I'm such a sweet guy and those are some incredibly sweet drums. For any of the other rabid joes out there, you would be looking at 900...easy. That is a seriously nice kit. My guess is there are others who would pay more than 900 (1200-1500) due to the finish. WMP is very collectable (whatever that means). I just like the finish. It's very cool. Good luck on this one. I would LOVE to snag this kit, but I have about three too many right now. My son left for boot camp and it's just the wife and I. I really don't want to upset her and end up in my own boot camp. If you want to trade for two kits, I'm open. Chunk it hard!

Thanks MCJNIC. Great to hear from you. How ids that gold sparkle 70's Ludwig coming?

School ended Friday. I start back on my restorations tomorrow. I'm going to finish that kit first. It shouldn't take more than a day or two. I've done most of it already. I pulled all my drums out again yesterday. I found that I've still got to solve the "washer" enigma. I ordered washers online and never got 'em. I didn't realize this until yesterday. I've been so focused on teaching that I totally missed this. They didn't charge my card, so I'm good with it. But, now I've got to still find the washers for this kit. Dang - two steps forward, one building on top. I'm open to suggestions to online suppliers. I need washers to act as spacers for Luddy lug mount screws. You would think it simple.

I'm also trying to remove a VERY stubborn screw from a WFL throwoff. Stuck Stuck Stuck. Soaking it in WD40 for a bit. Maybe.......

I've got a set of Luddy shells that will be a sweet little jazzer kit that I should have up fairly soon.

Just looking at the Rogers kit. So much work and so little motivation. It will be last.

I've got snares for all of these kits that I'm also restoring - Four of 'em. Lots of fun.

Looks like a lot of work. At least you'll be busy, dealing with VINTAGE DRUMS. Excited

So do you think 1964 sets are more rare than other 60's sets?

I don't follow. Why would a 64 be more rare than any other year?

Wasn't ringo's third kit a 1964 super classic, just instead of WMP he played BOP.
