Vintage Ludwig 1970's drums shell and hardware pack -no snare The 1970’s are referred to as the era of the Blue/Olive badge. 1978 Shells consisted of 6-ply maple/poplar mix without reinforcement rings. All shell interiors were now done as a clear coat, exposing the grain of the wood. This kit has 7 concert toms, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and18 inch floor tom with 22 inch kick drum, highly collectable, as well as sounding amazing. Purchased off a Ludwig drum collector 27 years ago through my father Bruce King. These drums can do it all, from Mount Maunganui sound shell New years eve concerts, the Gluepot, the Powerstation, the lab studios, Bobs bar, Airforce studios, Wildlife, Mandrill studios, etc. etc. These drums have been my ‘go to’ drums. Usually I would rack mount the toms & cymbals giving myself endless combo setups, from 4 piece jazz, 5 piece rock, 6 piece fusion, & 8 piece glam rock. One kit to do everything! The practical nature of a concert tom means usually you can fit 3 or 4 toms inside your floor tom, put your snare on top & the whole kit fits easily into the back seat a 4 door car! I stored all the hardware and used a rack mount system & a rims mounting system on all toms since purchasing the kit. ( rack system not included in sale ) The hardware is in the same condition as when I bought the kit, vintage with usual chrome pitting but in good working order ( it was already 13 years old when I got it in 1991 ) The "sound scoops" have no cracks, and are a rare thing to find on any vintage Ludwig kit.
