Which is the better deal? Ludwig 20" floor tom?

Posts: 226 Threads: 113

Hi Guys,

I am thinking about buying one of the two drum sets, maybe both:

Early 70's Ludwig Clear Vistalite kit in very good condition (no cracks) with the following sizes: 13" tom, 16" floor tom, and 20" floor tom and 22" Bass. Did Ludwig make a 20" floor tom? If so, I believe this would be very rare.

The other is an early 60's Rogers Holiday series in Champagne sparkle, also in very good condition with the following sizes: 12" tom, 16"floor and 20" bass.

I can get either set for $500....which is the better deal?

Thanks

Yes Ludwig did make a 20" floor tom--18x20--These are very rare to fine most of them were custom ordered..I would go for the ludwig set you could always sell off the 20" tom and get your money back and keep the other drums..Mikey

Really? My bad...I thought you were that guy who has the by/sell/trade thingy and every time you come here asking about a set, it normally shows up on your website for sale.
