Found this 70s Ludwig kit online for $800 and it has been up for 4 months. Wondering why it hasn’t gone in a flash since that seems too good to be true. Does anyone think they’re fake maybe. I see the B&O badges have seen better days and the hoops and t clamps aren’t original. Any Ludwig guys...

These have been sitting in my garage for years and I really just need them gone. I figure someone here could put them to good use. These are player grade for sure with some surface rust, pitting and chrome loss. I spent a little time polishing up a few pieces and they definitely improved so more...

Hi all, it's been a while since I last posted. I started a project collecting vintage e-drums. It took a lot of work, but I have them up and running. Hopefully there are some older members that remember these and are smiling! Here is a video of them. I just made a loop on the Roland spd30 and...

Hi everyone! I was just cruising around and happened upon a kit that seems interesting to me but I don’t think it has any badges. The listing says it is a “70s - 80s drumset,” but gives no further details. I took some screenshots and was hoping someone here could help identify it and nudge me...

Hello, I've been presented with an opportunity from an acquaintance to purchase a 4 piece Camco kit (2 rack toms, floor, and BD...no snare). I want to say they are 10, 12, 14, 20. I looked at them quickly, and the bearing edges look flawless; finish still has it's glossy shine, and all the...

New user here trying to find out more info on a kit I just purchased. This is a USA Custom Rosewood kit from the eighties I scored last month but I have yet to receive any information as to the exact year. Sizes are 10, 12, 14, 16, 20. I've included a photo of the serial number and model number...

Hi drummers Can someone help me identify this snare drum? There's no batch on the drum, no serial number and nothing written on the inside of the shell. Thanks!

Greetings all! I am currently in the market for a Rogers 20/14/12 kit (Holiday or Delta Tower) I am at a crossroads of which to buy... I understand the physical differences between the Holiday and Tower kits, but is there a sonic difference between the two? Anyways, any input/ experience...

Hello all, I have recently acquired a Slingerland drum set, but I was unable to obtain much information about it. I think that it is in the 1963-69 range from the badge it has, the bass drum is 20in, has two 12 in rack toms, and a 16in floor tom, and is a sparkly silverish color. From what I...

This cowbell is presumably from the 1960s. It still sounds great even though it’s been weathered a little through time. I also have a vintage Ludwig bass drum hoop mount that this comes with. $80 shipped.

This is a late 1970s 15x12 Slingerland marching snare from Northwest Webster (NWW) High School in Mason, IA. This drum is the first time I've seen a school-specific custom wrap on a Slingerland marching snare. I'm sure it was not uncommon, but it's a first for me. I thought the color and...

It's about time... Camco 17" Strait or 18" Splayed Legs are finally available folks. I bought a set of each and they are amazing. Just about identical and affordable - Check out the links for all the specifics...

Great drum. Bought to piece together a matching set but it has been very difficult to find matching drums. I have a blue oyster pearl kit from the same year. Would be willing to trade for blue oyster Tom 13”. No other trades considered. Thank you for looking! Missing the internal mute. I think I...

Very clean and well maintained 79’ vintage Ludwig drum set. Sizes are 14x22, 9x13 & 16x16. The rack tom is missing internal muffler and bass drum has a couple of hairline cracks in the wrap. This is very common with these wraps dating back to the late 70’s. The drums themselves are in extremely...
