Description Size: 18" x 20" Material: Maple Brand: Ludwig Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Drum Type: Acoustic Single Drums Type: Rack Tom
.Here is a VERY RARE 18" Deep x 20" Wide Ludwig Mounted Tom- no legs- no extra holes. The color is White Cortex. This uses the Modular Style Tom Mount. It has a Blue & Olive (rounded corners) badge #1980593 from 1979. This must have been among the first portion made with the new style mounting hardware. The shell overall is in very nice to excellent condition. There are a couple real small nicks and scuffs like you would expect but they are few and pretty difficult to see unless you are looking for them. You can see the worst (if you want to call it that) in the lower portion of the 5th image. Nothing really to be concerned with for a drum that is 38 years old. I would rate the shell as an 8.5 to 9. Most 5 year old shells look worse. Overall this is an amazingly clean drum!Brand New top and bottom 2.3mm 20" hoops. Brand New Remo 20" Coated Ambassador Batter Head. Brand New Remo 20" Clear Ambassador Reso Head. Brand New Ludwig OEM replacement Muffler. Nice original bearing edges. The shell has been thoroughly cleaned as well as all the lugs have been freshly polished. The chrome on the lugs look good- a little wear here and there but nothing major. In addition I cleaned all the rust and corrosion off the interior Lug Mounting Bolts with a wire brush (a couple are replacements bolts). The Tension Rods are clean as well. The T-Screw on the tom mount has some pitting on the handle. This is the Tom you need to turn your kit into a thunder machine! You won't find a much rarer size than this for a mounted Ludwig tom.I have four drums from this set currently posted on eBay. The 18 x 20 Mounted Tom (shown here), a 16 x 18, a 16 x 16 and a 14 x 14. All mounted / hanging rack toms- all four in matching White Cortex. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE BEFORE PURCHASING THE DRUM.* Please note that I ship within 3 business days of your payment. NO shipments outside the continental United States. * Also, note that this item will ship from Northern California where I am currently working rather than from Illinois like my seller account states. I'm located in the Auburn area if you would like to meet and pick it up yourself. CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THE DRUM SO THAT YOU ARE NOT FORCED TO PAY THE SHIPPING COSTS.
