Just check out the 12 clear close-up super-size pictures to help describe these nice items. Some are with flash, others aren’t. This very cool kit was called the “Quadra Plus” from the Melodic Tom Outfit line. That line of drums featured the single sided upper tomsinspired by the modern rock drummer, the 70’s catalog says! It also featured oversize upper toms(13″ and 14″) with the Quadra-Plus Tom holder(clip mount), an 18″ floor tom, and a 22″ bass drum. Sadly this kit would of also come with matching 15″ & 16″ upper toms mounted on a stand making it a 6 piece kit(quad=4 upper toms + floor tom &BD) but they were both missing in action when I bought this set. This is the era when Ludwig drum shells were built with 3 ply maple with rock maple reinforcing rings, and clear cote insides. Check out the pictures of the insides of these drums, they are beautiful! All four drums have the pointed Ludwig blue olive badges and all four serial numbers are very close. Serial numbers on the badges: 1565965, 1570790, 1573071, 1573217. Badges look nice still too. Still built in Chicago, ILL, U. Beautiful original silver sparkle finish on all of the drums. All of the chrome is in excellent+ condition and all parts are 100% original to the drums. Nothing striped or broken, and no extra holes. Just quality Ludwig vintage drums! You get four drums with this sale: 1 Bass Drum: 14″ x 22″, 22 head size with 2 arc spur legs. 10 lugs a side, with center dual tom post with clip mounts. 2 Floor Tom: 16″ x 18″, 18 head size, 8 lugs a side(top & bottom). Round knob/round felt internal muffler. 3 Upper Tom: 9″ x 13″, 13 head size, 6 lugs on top. 4 Upper Tom: 10″x14″, 14 head size, 8 lugs on top. All original factory seams on the silver sparkle wrap are worn as usual, but nothing to crazy. Of course they are on the back or bottom side of the drums, unseen from the audience side of the kit. As you probably know an 18 floor tom has 2 vertical seams on the wrap. Just let me know shortly after the sale if you want it. One of the main things this “made in USA” kit has going for it, is the sound. This bass drum sounds awesome! Perfect deep tone, you’re going to love it! The tone of the three toms fits it perfectly too. Note: the T post tom holder has what looks like a welded repair. You can’t see it in the pictures, you literally have to have the two toms off, and take the unit apart before it even shows. It is definitely super sturdy solid and not going anywhere. I’ll be packaging in at least two oversize boxes. General Terms and Conditions. Residents of Washington State. Policy: VF’s policy, your complete satisfaction!! ……..
