Description
Brand: Ludwig Exact Year: 2007


Before I go into specific detail about this exact kit, if you don't already know the specifics please google and read about the specific specs of this kit.  Overall
Before I break down the condition of each individual drum, the set as a whole is in perfect working condition. I bought it brand new in 2007 and had to wait for it to be made. I am the only and original owner.  There are no cracks, major scratching or dents, no damage to the lugs or hoops.  Aside from the cosmetic flaws I will list below drum by drum, this set it in great shape.  I played it very little and most of the time it was kept stored. It will certainly need some new heads put on it, and the entire kit comes with the original resonator heads for each drum except the snare, as they were never changed. I work in a place with access to a shipping facility so I will professionally pack this to ensure no possible damage can occur during shipping. Each drum is stamped with a unique serial number. It will be shipped via UPS ground.Snare
The snare drum, while functionally perfect is the most cosmetically damaged of all the drums. The chrome is  bubbling. It hasn't started to peel off yet, but it's not in good shape.  Still has that amazing Zeppelin sound, but cosmetically she's pretty worn.  I kept it stored in a very safe and moderate climate well covered. It just ended up happening.Bass drum
This thing is true thunder. The shell and lugs are in great shape and so is the outer hoop. The inner hoop has scratches of course where the kick pedal was mounted and on the top of the inside hoop where I idiotically mounted a cow bell for like an hour. The original outer head has a tear in it from where I cut it open to make a sound hole for a mic. Rack tom
No major cosmetic issues. A little sparing rust around the hoops in spots but nothing you can't get rid of with a little care. Shell is fine, lugs and nuts are fine.

16 inch floor tom
No major issues to the shell, lugs or nuts.  The legs however are a bit rusty at the bottom. Not all of them and not quite as bad as the larger floor tom.18 inch floor tom
No major issues to the shell, lugs or nuts. One of the legs however is very rusty at the bottom, the other two hardly at all. See image above.
