Ludwig 12/14/20" Club Date Drum Set - 1960s Sparkling Silver Pearl

A beautiful 1966 Ludwig Club Date in original Sparkling Silver Pearl. 8x12" tom, 14x14" floor tom, and 14x20" kick drum. Center lugs, telescoping spurs, and original cymbal L-arm bracket. The Club Dates were constructed using Ludwig's classic 3-ply shells and outfitted with a hardware configuration that allowed them to be designated as a "budget" alternative to the same-sized Downbeat kit. This kit is in remarkably clean condition for being close to 60 years old. The chrome is brilliant and shows minimal pitting or tarnish, and the shells, edges, and interiors look barely touched. Some blemishes on the bass drum hoops, although they look to be slightly touched up. The drums tune up nicely and sound rich, tubby, and focused. As far as classic, vintage tone and visual vibe, it doesn't get much better than this. "Here's the hottest NEW outfit to make the "scene" in years! Want compactness for travel? ... the "Club Date"s got it! Want modern sizes and styling? . . . the "Club Date" scores twice! Want new low price? . . . Again it's the "Club Date"! Streamlined separate tension drums with Ludwig's fast setting flush-packing shell mount holders. It's easy to play—eager to go! Comes in ALL Ludwig finishes—lacquers, pearls, nickel or chrome" Please examine the photos closely for additional condition information and contact us if you have any questions that are not answered here or in the photos.
