Pass...
They are MIJ or MIT firewood drums...
ok
i understand firewood !
but i don't get MIJ / MIT
Looks like a mid 90's Ludwig Rocker MIT. Unfortunately these were pretty lousy unlike the 80's USA Rockers.
To be clear, when we say "made in Japan", that is in no way to be considered disparaging to companies such as Pearl, Yamaha and Tama which all manufacture very high end drums in Asia. The MIJ and MIT names used here refer to REALLY cheap import drum kits. Most major manufacturers have a line of really cheap imported drums now for beginners. The imports started showing up on USA shores in the mid 60's.
thank you
sorry to insist
the guy says "from the seventies", so he may be a liar ? it's important for us here to know if he's trying to rip people off.

i understand
it's clear
Do not waste your money on these. The don't look like any Ludwig drum I've ever seen - made in U.S. or anywhere. No badges. Keep looking. :)
