1966 Ludwig Super Classics Last viewed: 15 hours ago

Loading...

Life sometimes has a way of illuminating things. Mine has shown a light that I am a drum hoarder. I will very soon be putting up for sale my 1966 Ludwig drums. It is a complete set with cymbals and hardware/accoutrements from 1966. It has A. Zildjian cymbals bought with the kit when it was new. The kit and chrome is in 9-10 shape. The drums sound fabulous. I have used them once since I bought them in 2009. They sit in my closet in the bags and I need the room and to let go of things I no longer need or use. I know I will never run into another kit like this and neither will any of you most likely. The woman I bought these from was a widow of a friend of mine who was handicapped in a wheelchair since 1970. So, his 66 Super Classics sat in a dining room in vinyl Luddie bags for all those years until he died and I got them. I am going to take pics and research what a fair price is at market value. I am letting you guys know for a few reasons. I want feedback as to what they are worth ballpark number and also to give you guys first dibs. I would listen to offers once I post pics. Trust me when I say if you ever wanted an old Ludwig kit for that vintage sound, this is the kit. I would love to sell this kit to someone who owns a recording studio so they will be played but not abused. I have enjoyed them and the story of how I acquired them but I want to let them go so someone else can enjoy them. Thanks.

dbd :

I have 2 posts going : 1 here "What's '66 20/9/16 Ludwig setup called?"; the other in For Sale "1966/68 Ludwig Silver Sparkle 4 Piece".

From what I've learned from my own research and the kind comments from other forum lads my kit's valued at or above 2k. Depending on (of course) condition, wrap, etc, yours sounds like it might be closer to 3k since it has all of the "accouterments."

Curious to see the nudey pics - Hobbs

Thank you.

...I think many of us here "hoard" drumsets, myself included. But that's not a bad thing so long as they get played! Hopefully my future spouse will be an understanding one. Anyways, best of luck on the sale!
