Description Brand: Ludwig Material: 3 ply Items Included: Snare stand, and cymbal stand Model: Downbeat Drum Type: Acoustic Drum Kits Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Beautiful 1968 Black Diamond Pearl Downbeat.20x14, 8x12, 14x14, 5x14 Acrolite.
The wood drums are all original, right down to the tension rods and washers and are in Near Mint Condition.
Acrolite has been upgraded with custom wires and new 8 lug hoops The heads are new except for the snare side which I believe is the original. The black diamond finish is very bright and shiny with no fade.
This was a one owner kit.
All the chrome is beautiful with minor pits on some of the smaller lugs.
The bass drum hoops have been repainted by the Hoop master Jack Lawton. The snare stand and bass drum cymbal stand are included. Date on kick is May 31st 1968
The date on 12" appears to be May 8 1968
The date on the 14" Floor tom is June 6 1968 Serial Numbers:
Kick #614398
Tom #603447
Floor Tom #616241 The original owner stated that these drums were purchased together all at the same time The bass drum is painted white internally. Both the mounted tom and floor tom are not painted. On the inside the shell is made of old growth north American Maple.
Its definitely in a different league from anything new I've seen in Guitar Center. The tone is warm and a little deeper then ive heard a lot of Ludwigs.
1968 appears to be the first year that Ludwig stopped using the baseball bat tone controls, so both toms have the dial type tone control on them. Bass drum W/Mount 14" X 20", Tom 8"X12", Floor Tom W/Legs 14"X14". You are not going to find a nicer example of mid 60's Ludwig downbeat for this price any where.
Im so confident the winner will be blown away, that I'm offering %100 money back guarantee.
Shipping to the lower 46 is fixed at $65.00.
ONLY $149 FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!! I love to ship International, and I try my best to have the lowest world prices on ebay.
Check out my other items!
I also often get really cool rare Gretsch DW sonor items.
If you ask me to mark low value for international shipping customer will assume responsibility. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
