Members Newman Posted April 5, 2003 Members Share Posted April 5, 2003 I have probably brought this up before, but I am always interested in vintage drum sets. Has anyone here ever gotten a vintage set of drums at an ultra cheap price? I always envision going to a garage sale and finding a vintage ludwig from the late 60's that an old widdow is selling for 50 dollars. Anybody ever find a diamond in the rough, like at a swap meet, garage sale, auction, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Puck Posted April 5, 2003 Members Share Posted April 5, 2003 My second drum set was a vintage Ludwig Vistalite with vintage zildjian cymbals for $250. I had a friend that owned a music store and she found somebody that wanted to sell them. so I got them for $200 plus 50 for shipping them to me. Imo that was a great find.

Members stapes2260 Posted April 5, 2003 Members Share Posted April 5, 2003 friend of mine bought a 60's gretsch kit with 2 toms, snare, and a floor tom for $200 in silver sparkle. He found it in the paper, the guy who had it didn't know the value of it apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members djembefola23 Posted April 7, 2003 Members Share Posted April 7, 2003 I found a 1941 leedy drum set at an antique store in New Hampshire about 2 yrs ago. It had everything down to the bass drum and hi hat pedals. I paid 500 for it and turned around and sold it on ebay for 1000. Plus I got the enjoyment of taking it apart and cleaning it.

Thats cool man. When you can take the time to refurbish something and then sell it for a nice profit, thats the best. Especially when its an old vintage Leedy.

Members e-b-e Posted April 9, 2003 Members Share Posted April 9, 2003 I bought a Blue Sparkle Ludwig 4pc Jazz kit with a Ludwig/Paiste 18inch Crash/Ride for $65 back in 1986. They were stamped inside the shells with a date in 1965. This was my first kit. I wish I never traded it in on the Mapex kit I bought new in 1989. Although I did get $250 for it and I kept the cymbal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
