Ludwig - Early 1970s 3-Ply Natural Maple Thermogloss "Pro-Beat" 24", 18", 16", 14", 13"

Here's one you don't see everyday!! Early 1970s Ludwig, Natural Maple Thermogloss, 5 piece set with 24x14" bass drum, 18x16", 16x16" floor toms, 14x10" and 13x9" rack toms. 3 ply Thermogloss drums are extremely rare. This is a rare beauty. This set was originally a "born together" 24, 13, 14, 18 kit with all serial #s between 938*** and 942***. The 16" floor tom was added later. The finish on the 16" has aged to a darker shade of natural then the other drums.

New Remo coated Emperors on top. Coated Ambassadors on bottom. Coated Powerstroke 3 batter head on bass with a 70s Ludwig logo head on the front. This drum kit sounds HUGE. Wide open, this kit resonates with the kind of ambience that room mics love.

The 18" arrived with a large water stain. I had the drum professionally buffed and refinished to dramatically reduce the darkness of the stain. You can still see the stain but it's not a distraction.

The floor tom legs are not included.
