Id like to share with you all how I celebrated 8 years of being booze free. This kit is my personal "holy grail" set and as a Ludwig collector/player is pretty much at the top of the vintage list and falls, as I was told, under the "go and try to find another" category. FINALLY I have a 1960...

This is my 1967 one-owner Ludwig 12/16/20 Downbeat kit in an attic that my family and I converted in 1998 into a playroom for our 2 boys. Now that they're both grown it's become my man cave. We stapled 2 large colorful parachutes (if it doesn't work, simply bring it back for a full refund) to...

Hi all Thought I would share this treasure I was able to acquire here in SoCal. I bought this kit from a fellow drummer in town. I actually gave him 100 dollars more than what he was asking & I think you all know why. (His phone was ringing off the hook). It's an ALMOST matched kit (BD & Tom...
