Most of the T-rods and claws are not original. The hoops are not original. The wrap has some scratches, marks and a few short splits near the tom mount. During this time period Ludwig riveted the wrap seams. There is some lifting and some short splits on one riveted seam. The other seam has had the rivets removed and the wrap cut back a little. This has newer large 1/2 curved spurs installed. Edges are in nice condition. Overall in decent shape and functions as it should.

I understand that collecting drums involves a lot of passion. Sometimes passion can blind us a bit and causes us to have unrealistic expectations. I mention this, because it is easy to forget that these drums are over 50 years old! It is fair to say, that perfection should NOT be expected from any of these drums. These drums have been played over the years and hauled from gig to gig. As a result, there are various cosmetic blemishes, general wear, and damage to some drums. I will provide you with a lot of pictures and a general overview of what I see for each drum. I will do my best to note any above average wear that I see, but I’m not perfect. I may miss some things or not have the knowledge to search for specific characteristics. So please; I ask that you understand this and not expect perfection, or for each and every blemish to be mentioned. In the second picture, you can see where to go to, to view many more pictures of the drum set. You can also message me and I can direct you in the right direction. You will receive all of the drums that are pictured. You will also receive all of the stands that are pictured. There are no cymbals or any other parts/accessories included.
