Members FitchFY Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 I'd say keep `em and treasure them! And if not... well.... www.ebay.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members epb Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 I don't know the answers to your questions. I just wanted to comment that I have a 1967 Ludwig bass and tom (18 & 12, black with white interior). Unfortunately, the wife threw away the resonant hoops during a move. I replaced the tom hoop and am going to fix up the bass drum (get the new hoop and resonant head, and replace the batter head which is oh about 30 years old, although I do wish that I had a bigger bass drum for the music that I play). (I just got a Pearl Reference brass snare, which is great, but I worry will overpower the rest of this kit. The 16" floor tom did not come with the set originally.) I also wanted to comment that I love Norwich. I went to Dartmouth, and that lovely woman who threw away the hoops grew up just north of St. Johnsbury.

Members vtjazz Posted December 28, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 norwich is good...somewhat lacking in a music scene, though. good luck with the restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirPsychoBuddha Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 Please do not sell such a beautiful drum set. Ludwig makes an extremly good drum. I would keep them and get some new hardware, rims, heads and just gig with those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members epb Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 You got me thinking, and I made some calls. I was told that the best bet may be ebay, although there are various vintage drum places and shows around the country. (Your options are more limited in Vermont.) Depending on condition, etc., probably $1000-2000 (very rough guess, could be higher) for your three pieces. I'm told that these drums sometimes sell better individually. Most folks here are more knowledgeable than I, so hopefully you can get more/better info. This discussion has gotten me all worried about how my ballsy, new Pearl snare is going to sound in my old mellow Ludwig set. Won't be able to find out until practice on Sunday.

Members nklarow Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 I live up in St. Jay. Music scene here sucks. I also plan on going to Dartmouth. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cheeseadiddle Posted December 29, 2006 Members Share Posted December 29, 2006 Are these Oyster Black Pearl, ala Ringo? Or are they Black Diamond Pearl? If they are Oyster Black Pearl and they aren't re-wraps and you can prove it, they can get a lot more than 2k on ebay. You have to take really good pictures of the shells. You need close up shots of the interior of the shells on the back of all the badge grommets, and you need top down shots on all the scarf joints. This will photographically prove they aren't re-wraps. If you satisfy that, the Japanese collectors will probably bid them up to $4k easy, if they are in decent shape.

It's just clicked, those sizes, in that colour, from that date....... It's a Ringo kit isn't it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vtjazz Posted December 29, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2006 It certainly would appear to be a Ringo kit. for you dartmouth fans, there are good musicians here. Frat gigs are nuts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drummerboylarue Posted July 28, 2008 Members Share Posted July 28, 2008 hi vtjazz, If you still have the 64' black oyster pearl drums I would be interested in see pics of them and more info about there condition for a possible sale. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chunkaway Posted July 28, 2008 Members Share Posted July 28, 2008 The market is definitely soft compared to this time last year. I'd hang on to the kit until our economy bounces back. I bought a 1968 gold sparkle Luddy in those sizes over a year ago. I paid $1400, although the kit was/is mint. I don't think I'd be able to get $1200 for them now, although you might have better luck due to the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Big Daddy Posted July 28, 2008 Members Share Posted July 28, 2008 ...trade for the peace kit. I wish they would get on the ball, and get those in more shops... I know.There are no dealers within 100 miles of where I am.My guitar player owns a music store here, so I'm trying to get him hooked up.It just seems to me that the high end kits are harder to sell,so the smaller shops won't carry them because of the $$ involved.
