This is a great WFL (Ludwig) set that belonged to Mousie Alexander, who was a great jazz drummer from the 50s through the 80s. He performed with many great artists including Benny Goodman, Pearl Bailey, Clark Terry, Doc Severinson on the The Tonight Show, and many more. This set has the signs of lots of use and even shows where Mousey had switched over to a double rack tom set up and therefore drilled extra holes. The kit has the 9x13, both 16x16s, the bass drum and the Jazz

Get ready for some fun! Ludwig’s Neusonic series is made from 100% US shells and is a fantastic product. These sets are lightweight with small classic lugs, and are really pro-level sets. You’ll be hard pressed to find a US-made set at this quality and this price point. And now, we are offering custom sets. These 8x12, 14x14, 14x20 kits are hugely versatile, and we are selling these with our Maxwell Ludwig rail mount (a $250 add-on, but just $100 for these sets), as well as v

8x12, 14x14, 14x18, 5.5x14. More pics coming. Truly a pristine example and a unique piece. The gold hardware option is long gone, so grab this rarity while you can.

Steve’s Notes: This is such a great set! The new Slingerland Radio King series in gold glass glitter. 8x12, 14x14, 14x20. AND, this set is complete with my original reproduction of the Slingerland set-o-matic tom holder. I ordered this set specifically without the bracket Slingerland uses on the 12, since we wanted to mount the set-o-matic, which has a different hole spacing. This tom holder was a fabulous one designed by Slingerland from the mid 60s onward through the 70s. G

Here's to a classic snare drum look and tone. In conjunction with Cathy Rich, the Craviotto Drum Company is proud to announce the Buddy Rich Commemorative Snare Drum. This incredible drum is modeled after the Slingerland Buddy Rich model from the early 1970s, but updated with the world famous Craviotto solid maple shell.

Scope out this video. A little history to speak about the great studio players who were responsible for so much great music. This one touches on The Swampers, who held court at the world famous Fame studio in Muscle Shoals. https://youtu.be/SSC5ArTNgsg?si=crKL938kd5TfHr9k
