I want to start out by saying that I know very little about this drum set other than what I looked up online and what the owners told me. I purchase this at an estate sale and I was told it was purchased in the late 60's early 70's. I look the serial numbers up on Ludwig website and it shows that they were made around 1965. All of the serial numbers start with the same three digits which state the items. I was told that this was a custom ordered set and for the style and date range it is the largest set that I have seen online. This set is made of 100% stainless steel and shines very nice. There are no major flaws but there are a few scuffs. Would not be too worried about the scuffs due to the fact that it is stainless steel and from what I am told you can both just about anything out. I would rate these very high and condition especially for the age. I am not sure of the value since I have never seen a drum set this large in from this era. I am under the understanding this is a very weird drum set period I am selling it as is as listed and as described above. Please feel free to email with any questions and I will do my best to answer your questions. This auction includes everything pictured. Shipping will be $300 due to the size of the set and I may have to ship them in multiple boxes and they will be shipped out insured. I would have put these together but I do not know how to put them together. I did not even know if I have everything it takes to put them together! I'm sure you know more than I do but this is a beautiful set of drumsperiod I could imagine stage lights reflecting off of them would look amazing The smallest drum measures about 8 inches around by 6 inches tall. The next size drum up measures about 7 inches tall by 10 inches round. The middle size drum is 12 inches round by 8 inches tall The next size drum is approximately 13 inches round by 9 inches tall. The largest of the drums setting up right on the floor is 10 inches tall by 14 inches round. the largest drum on the floor is 24 inches round by 14 inches deep. last but not least is the drum that has legs on it. It is 18 inches round by 16 inches deep. I measured all of these to the best of my ability. At times Some of these measured closer to the 3/4 Mark so if a drum measured 11 and three 3/4 or 11 and 7/8 I would just say it was a 12 inch round drum. I did take the plastic and metal rings off of the drums in order to measure them. The plastic on some of these drums is in fair condition. I would plan on replacing most of them
