This is for a mint “like new” Ludwig Vistalite 50th Anniversary 14 x 6.5 snare drum in red sparkle/smoke/red sparkle. It’s never been used. Everything original, heads are new. It’s a stunning snare that cracks!

This doesn’t even look like it was played – This is a great opportunity to own a piece of Ludwig History! Please Note – There are a few small cracks in the lacquer on the resonant bass drum hoop. Ludwig 110th Anniversary Legacy Mahogany 3pc Fab Drum Set Diamond Flash Inlay is a celebration of history in the making. And making history with Ludwig Drum Sets is something we love at Drum Center of Portsmouth. This limited piece features a Legacy Mahagony 3pc Fab Drum Set. Don’t miss this one! This anniversary outfit hallmarks some of Ludwig’s most coveted drums that date back to the 1930s. Flash Pearl Inlay made its debut as a high-end finishing feature to further personalize and amplify the presentation of your drum set. Utilizing dyed Tupelo and Koto veneers, precision-cut diamond figures are inlaid into arctic white birds-eye maple veneer. This presentation is made complete with Ludwig’s revered Legacy Mahogany 3-ply shell design. Each outfit features Ludwig’s 110th Anniversary embossed badge.

I have no proof or documentation to that effect, but considering the owner’s apparent legitimacy, the fact that Elvin was a longtime Yamaha endorser and this was their new 30th Anniversary model in what appears to be Elvin’s finish, the high end cymbals and configuration, and the Bay Area background/connection, I believe it’s entirely possible – that’s the reason I saved all the original heads.

Pearl 75th Anniversary Drum Set. I’ve had this kit for about a year. It’s been in the studio once. Other than that it sat in my drum room. It has no flaws whatsoever. I have the original pearl(remo) dot heads but I prefer emperors. You’ll get everything the set originally came with. That’s the recording if interested in hearing how they sound.
