Ludwig pre serial number Blue Note red sparkle. From my personal collection.

My friend Charlie over at Badges Drum Shop had this set and I grabbed it from him a couple of years back. This set is pre serial number so the rims are chrome over brass. The set is immaculate as the photos show. Even original heads. Some of these pics are mine and some were from Charlie. The Blue Note was Ludwig’s first double bass model and can be seen in the 1960 catalog. When first offered, the mounted toms were two drums of the same size, and the bass drums were 14x22 but you could order 14x20. This early 60s set is 2-8x12s, 16x16, 16x18, 2-14x20 bass drums, 5x14 Jazz Fest snare, and matching canister throne. The only thing missing here is the matching 6” and 8” bongos, which weren’t ordered with this particular kit. The set is drop dead gorgeous and even has the original heads. Check out my video for this set. https://youtu.be/hmr9MqdrUuU?si=VO7-lTc_fmNdPCy6

I love playing this set, but I don’t get to play it as much as I’d like to, so it’s time to let someone else enjoy it. This is the perfect set to serve as a cornerstone of a great Ludwig collection, or as your playing set. An amazing kit and as original as they get. $6500.
