LUDWIG DRUMS FOR SALE

 I'm just selling the three vintage MOD ORANGE DRUMS 24" BASS, 12"
 RACK TOM and 16" FLOOR TOM...a have an extra old seat I can throw in
 (FREE) and a hard shell case for the bass drum ($50 extra). I'm asking $700
 bottom line no-haggling cheapest price for the kit, which I think is
 fair considering the extreme RARITY of this finish, but also the fact
 that my drums are quite beat up.

   The still sound great and look terrific at a stage distance. See
 jpegs. They have a lot of scuffs and such. The rack tom has chipping
 because it was played without a bottom head and banged against the bass drum
 for years. The center of the bass drum was drilled twice for two
 different modern rack tom mounts, one being the heavy duty ball jointed one
 that is on there now. As with all vintage MOD ORANGE kits the violet
 highlighted stripes have faded to near white, but the kit still looks
 better than that re-issue LUDWIG did a few years back that was much more
 purple and pink than orange.

   The imperfections in the kit prevent me from selling it to some
 vintage drum nut, even though it is one of the most sought after items
 LUDWIG ever produced. A snare drum alone in great condition went for over
 $1,000 on EBAY this past year.  Auctions for these are few and far
 between, but just this week a near mint-condition kit (with cymbals and
 stands) went for $4,250 plus $150 shipping....WOW!

  Of course, it was DENSMORE that popularized this rare finish, which
 came out in '67.  He played this style set on THE infamous ED SULLIVAN
 SHOW appearance as well as many other famous DOORS concerts of that
 period.

   My kit is a 1970. I'd like to see it get into the right
 hands....someone who loves DENSMORE and THE DOORS or plays in one of the tribute
 bands.  I'm asking a fair price and I cannot stress enough that the drums
 SOUND great and LOOK really cool from a stage distance...up close you
 can see that they've been through  a lot....and soaked up a ton of
 great ROCK-N-ROLL vibes in the process, played by many famous underground
 bands in the 80's and 90's.
