Terrific 1950s Leedy & Ludwig drum kit – 14x 24 , 9×13, 16×16, Clean inside & out, VGC. The snare in the photos is not currently for sale, bass & 2 toms only. Great resonant old-school sound. The hoops on the toms are not the originals but you can get repros with clips and do it up old-school. Note the hoops on the bass drum, far as I can, are original with intact inlays. Also a few plugged holes on bass drum and two on rack tom. And, not uncommon after 50 years, some glue bleed-thru on bottom of bass drum wrap seam. Not visible when set up. Includes some clip on bass drum legs–newer long ones and old school small ones. Original old school L&L tom mount, mounted on original banana-style rod, not a hoop-mount. Works well for its vintage & design. I have a couple of extra various 24 bass drum heads to throw in. The closer to Philadelphia, the lower the cost.

When you receive an item, open the package using a box cutter and be mindful not to tear up or throw away the box or any internal packaging. Without having to curb your enthusiasm of basking in the glow of your new piece of gear, think in terms of preserving it in its mint condition until certain you are keeping it. For instance, if it were rack gear, we would recommend avoiding racking it until you were certain it was a “keeper”. Thus preventing any possible “rack rash” or scratches. If it were a guitar pedal, avoid sticking Velcro on it and mounting to your pedal board until it passed your test to be knighted and sit at your round table of pedals. Although tempting to have both of your favorite things together, put down the chicken wings slathered in barbecue sauce that is dripping all over your leather vest and beard and be sure your hands are clean and dry before trying out your awesome new gear. Pet odors, cigarette and other smoke items can also affect the “newness” of your gear. Also, keep the gear away from your friend with the Billy Ray Cyrus mullet driving the Camaro. He’s a good guy and he means well, but years of smoke tar and beer bongs have dulled his perceptions. Incorrect voltage, self-repair, exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture damage, or incorrect application, etc. Earphones, microphones or other items that have intimate mouth, face or body contact. Software, computer hardware, computer drives and other digital or media tape. Items that are special orders, discontinued, or closeouts, are all non-returnable. HOW TO RETURN YOUR ITEM.
