1967 Ludwig BDP Super Classic 22/13/16

3 ply shells, overall kit is clean and shiny. March 1967 date stamps in all drums (Tom and Bass are a little hard to read, but floor tom is Mar 17th). Classic Ludwig sound.

Black Diamond Pearl is very vibrant and classic wrap. No extra holes, and all mufflers and rail consolette work well. Use wear to hardware, but no rust. BD hoops have been repainted and one inlay is a perfectly matched replacement.

At some point a muffling foam ring was glued inside the bass drum- it has since been removed but there is still glue residue which I am not removing because of the date stamp (see last pic). Doesn't impact sound, and I normally use coated heads...

A second 16x16 1967 floor tom will be made available for the buyer. It was not original to the kit, but is a perfect match.
