Newbie here. I found a gold sparkle Ludwig kit at the Goodwill store.

Posts: 9 Threads: 1

I just wanted to say hi and show off my new kit to someone who understands. Since the intro forum no longer exists and this is the 1st forum listed, I thought it would be a good place to start.

I found this kit at the Goodwill store in brand new Anvil fibre cases with new top and bottom heads for all drums except the snare. The kit was partially disassembled and the hardware, except for the rims, was missing from the bass drum and small tom. All drums were covered in dark brown butcherblock tac paper. No stands or pedals and the floor tom legs were missing. Price-$250.00.

I used the snare, mount and floor tom with a black Yamaha bass at a gig Saturday night and they rocked.D' Drummer

Well, the doofus did enable a nice score for Bonzo Moon. And protected the wrap as well. And he gave away the set anyway. OR maybe his mom did...

Nice score. I have found some interesting things at Goodwill. Amazing what gets tossed their way at times.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Wow....yes, and good of you to act fast. Had you left and com back, it probably would have been gone.

Easy to peel off the contact paper, then remove the residue with Goof-Off or some oil-based remover (don't use an alcohol-based glue remover ~ acetone, Oops, or the like ~ on old wraps, it'll start to disintegrate the top layer and leave permanent clouding/scars).

Um...it looks like the badge on the snare has no serial number at the top. If so, then that's a REALLY nice snag you got there...

WOW! Ain't that PURDY! My first real kit was a Crown in gold sparkle. I've had a soft spot (on my head my wife says) for that wrap since. Nice find! Yeah, you just have to wonder who would cover up a nice sparkle... Doofus is being so very kind.DOH
