Heres three vintage Ludwig drums wrapped in original sky blue pearl that probably did not come together but we are offering them for sale as a Ludwig Super Class kit. Drum sizes are 9 x 13, 16 x 16 and 14 x 22. Each shell is 3 ply with re-rings and white interiors. Keystone badge serial numbers are : the 13 (80227) and the 22 (80623), which are close enough to be considered a factory matched pair from late 64/early 65. Keystone badge on the 16 is 263145 which puts the born on date at around later 1965. The wrap on all three shells is tight and vibrant with minimal fade and good color uniformity (see photo). The exteriors on all three shells was completely painted black but that all has been professionally removed leaving a high gloss finish all around. Chrome hardware is all bright and shiny with very minimal pitting on the lugs and T rods and some rust spots on the claws. The bass drum has a pair of old style gull-wing folding spurs and an older style cymbal mount bracket. It has the older style clock-face rail console with script Ludwig logo. Hoops have been repainted and reproduction pearl inlay has been installed. Both toms have the newer style shell mount brackets and baseball bat mufflers (red on the 13 and white on the 16). The floor tom has the correct short 17 legs. No date stamps appear on any of the white interiors which range in color from white to beige, depending on the drum (see photo). Bearing edges look fine. This kit is a cut above a player kit as there are no extra holes or modifications but it is not collectors grade either. Its just a very nice Super Classic kit that presents itself extremely well.
