I am really excited about the re-introduction of this classic and rare finish. The original Ludwig oyster pink finish debuted in the late 50s and only about 150 total drums were ever made (that's less than 35 kits!!!). Original kits are among the rarest of all Ludwig sets and sell for huge premiums if they come available. We have had a few originals and are really happy to see this finish now available again so that everyone can enjoy it!

I have many Classic Maple kits in the order queue!

Vintage Pink Oyster

Arguably one of the rarest Ludwig finishes makes a triumphant return! Originally seen in production as early as 1959 and as late as 1963, Pink Oyster Pearl captured a dynamic aesthetic that would make it one of drum's most sought-after colors in the collector circuit. Its extremely limited nature turned this finish into a cult classic that demands some of the biggest resale values in vintage drums.

Like all other Vintage Oyster finishes from Ludwig, these are authentically produced by a hand blending process of material to recreate this illustrious look. No reproduction printed material here. Only the highest quality of handcrafted acetate film! Ludwig's reissue pays respect to the craft of age-old material production and brings back one of Ludwig's most-in-demand finishes.

Available on all Legacy and Classic Series Drums!
