Hoping to find out a little more about this drum set Last viewed: 3 hours ago

Posts: 6 Threads: 1

hello all,

my roomate recent got a drumset from her father and she was hoping to find out a little more about it. i dont know too much about music hardware and Her father had little info, he seems to think its from the 70s but after looking around i cant quit pin down any more than that. I found this forum by checking out Vintage Drum Guide and some things on there do lead me to believe that 70s are right namely the Baseball Bat Muffler White and Red Felt is present along withthe emblem appears to be right. please let me know what you guys think or if there are any pictures that youd need to pin it down

I am not a Ludwig expert, but a no serial keystone is definitely not 70s.

Ploughman is on the money, the non serial numbered badged dates from 1960-1962 , not a 70's kit, does the snare drum have a non serial numbered badge on it ?

take the bottom rim off the drum post a picture of the snare bed, where the snare strainer and butt end are attached this will tell us a lot about the snare drum.
