1965 Ludwig Club Date 5-Piece – Champagne Sparkle – Keystone Badges – One Owner – 20/12/13/14 + Supra

Offered for sale is a one-owner 1965 Ludwig Club Date 5 piece kit in original Silver Sparkle finish, Keystone badge era.

This kit was purchased new by my father in 1965 and has remained in our family since. In approximately 1967, a matching Keystone badge 13” tom was added shortly after the original purchase. The wrap matches perfectly and the drum remains fully correct to the era.

This is not a pieced-together set. It is an original family-owned Ludwig with period expansion.

Configuration:

20” Bass Drum (1965)

12” Rack Tom (1965)

13” Rack Tom (1967 Keystone-era addition, matching wrap)

14” Floor Tom (1965)

5x14 10-Lug Ludwig Supraphonic Snare (Keystone badge, period-correct upgrade)

Includes period-correct WFL snare stand.

• All Keystone badges

• Original Silver Sparkle wrap

• No extra holes anywhere

The finish presents very well and retains strong depth and sparkle.

Please note: the color of this kit is Silver Sparkle. The listing title says Champagne. This was a copy and paste error on my part and Reverb does not allow editing of listing titles. I cannot edit it.

Interior and detail photos provided for full transparency.

Snare Drum:

The included 5x14 10-lug Keystone Supraphonic snare is correct to the era and was an upgraded model around the time of original purchase.

• Keystone badge

• Internal muffler present

• Clean interior

Provenance:

Purchased new in 1965 and retained within the same family since. The 13” tom was added in 1967 and has remained with the kit ever since.

This is a beautiful one-owner example with correct period additions.

Price: $4,500 OBO

Given the condition, originality, history, and desirable 20/12/13/14 configuration, this is a fine example of a Keystone-era Silver Sparkle Ludwig Club Date paired with a Supraphonic snare. It sounds amazing.
