I just finished restoring this sweet drum set. Ludwig gold sparkle! Found it on craigslist for $125 so I bought it. Spent another $200 restoring it. Here's the list (if you care to know):-All new tension rods for all of the drums (those screws on the rims)
-Two new maple bass drum hoops (old ones were horrible)
-All new bass drum claws (16 claws that hold the hoops)
-Manufactured two bass drum legs with rubber stoppers (they were missing). Those keep the bass drum from sliding away from you while you play.
-Two new bass drum heads (not cheap)
-Rubbed out all of the rust from the original hardware.
I just researched the serial numbers for this drum set. Looks like this kit is from 1965!!! Might be able to get some good dough if I sell it. Think I probably will.
Anyway wanted to share. This is a pretty sweet sounding drum set!
