Can it be a Downbeat w/out the 14" FT?

Appreciate it - Hobbs

There's not a factory name for the outfit that I'm aware of. So, you can call it a custom ordered set, or an orphan set if you don't think the drums were born together. Usually, 20-16-13 sets are found earlier in the 60's.

I've looked into the same thing, as I have a '71 kit in those sizes. Mine doesn't have a cymbal mount on the bass so it looks most like a Deluxe Classic but that standard setup came with a 22. If serial numbers are close (as mine are) I'd assume your was a custom order. Great drums!

Thanks boys -

I'll shrink some photos later & add them. I cleaned up the kit, repainted BD hoops & have added a Jazz Festival snare from '68. I am planning on selling it on CL as I already have a Ludwig BDP 60's 20/13/14 kit, a pristine Rogers blue onyx w/ all the fix-ens, and will use the funds to buy more drum goodies. Just sold my lovely Yamaha Champagne sparkle 20/10/13/16/14 yesterday to make space.

How @ the other :

Dates in both toms: Sept 17 & 19 19?? ('66) based on badges ot : 336688 / 340482; BD = 401103, placing it late '66. I've no doubt the kit was not pieced together. It came with a Supra that had some insurmountable issues so I sold it. The snare dates Aug 1st '68, has clear interior with re-rings I think I read somewhere makes it somewhat more valuable since most this late are without re-rings ???

Great looking kit! I have an earlier 60's kit in 20/13/16 in Oyster Blue Pearl which appears to be a matching kit, all serial numbers are 34xxx.
