1949 Ludwig & Ludwig "Detroiter Outfit" Last viewed: 2 hours ago

Loading...

Just testing the waters to see if there might be any interest in this kit. There's a chance that I'll be putting it up for sale early next month. I'd prefer to sell it here in lieu of going the e-Bay route, if at all possible. I'm hoping to get $700 plus actual UPS Ground shipping costs for it. If interested, please feel free to drop me a PM and I'd be more than happy to forward a detailed description of each piece, as well as additional pics.

Thanks!

Thanks for the positive feedback on the kit! I've received several responses, including one from a local acquaintance. Obviously, a local sale would be the best scenario since I could avoid the packaging and shipping issues. However, right now everything is still up in the air.

mlayton: Hi, Mike. Thanks for the kind words regarding the kit. My plan was to include only the drums themselves, since I can use some of the accessories on my Radio King kit. However, I'd probably be willing to throw in a couple of those antique cymbals and hi-hat cymbals in the sale.

Rocketman: I've attached a detailed description of the drums, per your request.

Ludwigtony: Thanks so much for your interest in the kit. However, if I do end up shipping the kit the shipping would be restricted to a location in the United States.

poppies: I appreciate your comments.

FLOOR TOM – Leedy 16X14

The Leedy floor tom was added to the kit by the original owner. Based on the fairly close “fade” on all of the drums, I believe that the floor tom was used as an integral part of this kit over the last 60 years.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

Excellent sample of “all original” vintage American-made kit. It should be noted that the original calfskin head on the bottom side of the tacked-down rack tom had been ripped and removed. However, the original owner provided a piece of original calfskin, should one decide to have it remounted and re-tacked.

I don't have any interior pics available right now, Aaron, and the kit is located at my practice studio in lieu of at my home. If I get a chance down the road I'll take some and post them for you.

I've always believed that WMP never "yellows", it simply "mellows". That being the case, this kit is extremely mellowed (lol)!
