Vintage Ludwig Blue Sparkle Drum Kit – Early 1970s – Blue/Olive Badge

Selling a vintage Ludwig blue sparkle drum kit, likely from around 1970–1971 based on the Blue/Olive badges and serial numbers.

The core drums appear to be a mostly matched set:

Bass drum serial 773758

Rack tom serial 773773

Floor tom serial 773170

12" rack tom with an original blank Blue/Olive badge

Additional floor tom serial 932812, likely added later

The kit also includes Ludwig hardware and a pair of Sabian XS20 hi-hats. The drums show normal cosmetic wear from age, but overall present very well for a vintage kit.

This is a great set for a player who wants that classic Ludwig sound and look, or for a collector looking for an early Blue/Olive-badge kit in blue sparkle.

Asking $2,250 OBO.

Located in the Thomasville area. Local pickup preferred.
