I didn't know that club dates ever had (what appears to be) a strata wrap!!!!! That would now be a holy grail for me. Golly gee that's snazzy and the price is right. (Sigh) I'm in NY.

Definitely NOT a ludwig standard kit, looks more like an MIJ kit.

Some of the hardware does look MIJ but the floor tom leg mounts look Club date. If anyone wants I can go scope it out this weekend. I would be more interested in the cymbals.

Looks MIJ to me including the Root Beer Swirl wrap.

The wood on the inside of the shell make me think MIJ. Anyway like I said not mine and it was advertised as a 1968 Ludwig.

ludwig only used the strata finish for the standard line and they never did make a club date or single lug kit in the standard line. the lugs and tom holder should have been a dead giveaway, and that finish is not a strata, its known more in the MIJ world as a swirl wrap. i assume one of the drumheads said ludwig on it so the uninformed seller assumed it was a luddy.

that kit with those missing parts should sell for no more $200.

Looks like a Pearl Valencia outfit in Tigers Eye. Probably a stencil version without Pearl badges though http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/images/my_collection/literature/pearl/1968-pearl-catalog-8.jpg

Pretty cool set, & a fair price at $450, I'd say. I've never tried to tune a 6-lug bass, but I'm sure it can be done well. airbornesfc, I'd definitely think about grabbing that one if it goes for much cheaper--it's a beautiful drumset in my eyes. Thanks for posting......marko
