There is a nice looking blue sparkle 60's Ludwig on Ann Arbor CL. Maybe they'll come down a bit?

I've seen that. The kick drum is 1967 and the toms are 1968. I think $1475 is so high on it I think it would be insulting to make him an offer I'd think is fair. Although, I think the 1968 toms would have just made the cut off for mahogany/poplar/mahogany right? Not sure how to tell with the insides painted.

Thanks for letting me know about the kit!

Well, I contacted the guy and he said that Ludwig often factory matched drums that were dated far apart from each other. Is this true? Kick is June 23rd 1967, floor tom is March 22nd 1968, rack tom is March 19th 1968. I know theyre not always really close, but that's a bit of a stretch right?

Might be worth negotiating, if this guy will ship to you. Looks like there might be extra holes on top, though.

Good Luck.

check out Chicago Music Exchange, they have a Ludwig super classic, 1967 in blue sparkle, also a Clubdate in Champagne sparkle in your price range!

Just wanted to say thanks for pointing this out! Got a great deal on the 1967 super classic in sparkle blue and couldn't pass it up.

Not yet. It will arrive on Friday. So excited I can't sleep!

Did you previously own the kit? Play it at the shop?
