Well going on what you've said (no pics), I've seen other Hollywoods, not necessarily champagne go from around $800 and up. Those would be for the22in kick.

From what I've seen lately, it is my opinion that the 22-16-9 config's are bringing more money. Also those figures don't typically include any hardware or cymbals, particularly vintage Zil's.

Really for anyone to give you an accurate guesstimation, pictures are necessary. Sounds like a fine kit with good history. Can't wait to see your pictures.

I may be wrong but I believe Ludwig added new kit called the Big Beat in the late 60's. If I remember right, it was a Hollywood config with different hardware, or something like that.

Heck I'm not certain that yours with the 20in kick would have been a Hollywood. Let's hear from others.

Thanks very much for your help. I will get some pics on here today.

From what I see that is a beautiful kit. Looks very clean, no fade, no extra holes. With the hardware and cymbals I'm thinking $1200.......

Nice looking kit, and my favorite color, next to champagne sparkle...

I do have a '66 Super Classic with the 22" bass....

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Sh#t...that's a NICE old kit.

I think the market value is right in there where others have mentioned.

$800-1200.

I think on Craigslist you could get $800 or so. But you would be getting ripped off.

The 4-pc kit alone is worth $800. The cymbals, old '60's A's are worth another $250. The bass pedal and 'hat stand worth another $100 combined.

On eFlay you well might be able to clip $1g on the 4 drums alone...because it's champagne sparkle in excellent shape.

A vintage drum shop would try to sell that whole rig for $1400 or more.

So, if you wanna be an honest decent bloke, ask $1000. If you wanna try to maximize your profit...$1200 would still not be unreasonable at all.

But with the pies and hardware included, you gotta ask at least $1g....or you wil hate yourself in the morningCoffee Break2

hi, i have the excatly same kit, but with a 22" kick (built 1966-67) i bought it in parts (each drum for itself) not too long ago on ebay, and it cost me around 900-1000 dollars, if i recall correctly. might seem a bit expensive, but as i live in germany and the dollar was cheap over here duing that time, it was a great price for me as those drums are hard to get over here.

Yeah, you should get about $1300 for the whole shabang, but considering the economy, that's probably pushing it a little. I'd offer it on craigslist for $1250 and allow people to talk you down to $1000.
