vintage ludwig bass drum 26"

Loading...

I have been looking to buy a 26" drum to play and gig with. I am going to re-arrange my 1964 Ludwig kit to include this big drum. I have been looking exclusively for a large Ludwig drum. I found one online and am considering purchasing. I am looking for that big bass sound and am afraid the drum i've stumbled on might be too old or fragile to gig with. Please take a look at the photos.......what do you think? How old is this drum? Is $200 a decent price to pay for something like this?

This drum looks like its from the 40s.

But the head says "Blind Boy Joe and the Radio Kings."

The Radio King was a product of Slingerland and that badge

looks like it could be a slingy badge...

I dont really know about value but since everyone and their brother wants

the "Bonham sound" I could imagine prices for otherwise non valuable would be higher or very high.
