Ludwig - Vintage 1963 champagne sparkle downbeat outfit in near mint collector grade. All original (outside of the heads) with the original hardware. Only thing missing is the original cymbal stand.

What is really special about this kit is the original downbeat snare. Absolutly mint. White interiors, red baseball bat dampeners, all the good stuff! An incredible score destine for a collector.

Available in store and soon to be on our soon to be launched website. lol.

Dunnett 2N Antique Brass - a wild child. Not only are these aesthetically mind blowing, the sounds of this drum is the true highlite. Wide, crispy, tonal, ultra-sensitive, and as loud as it goes. If you had to just have one drum this would certainly qualify. 🥵

The website is coming soon, but we’re shipping, so if you’re interested in this monster shoot us an email!
