1960s Ludwig Pre-Serial Super Beat in Sky Blue Pearl - 14x20, 9x13, 16x16

A very clean factory matched kit! Pretty much original sans heads! The finish is unfaded and actually still blue! A prime example of what makes these preserial era Ludwig drums so desirable.

14 x 20 - Factory unfinished maple interior, with original chalk "20" written inside. Virgin drum as well! Features all the original hardware - 16x large lugs, 16x T-rods & claws, 2x hoops with inlays (paint has been touched up some), & 4x telescopic spur mounts (2x spurs). Drum is very clean overall, chrome is clean and shows no corrosion or heavy tarnish. Just a little dusty. Finish is quite clean, seams are tight (wrap can be seen wrapped into the scarf joint inside the shell!).

9 x 13 - White interior. All original as well, sans heads. Features 12x large lugs, 12x correct tension rods, 2x triple flanged hoops (top is chrome over brass, bottom is chrome over steel), round knob muffler, and classic mount. Chrome is exceptionally clean on this drum as well as the finish.

16 x 16 - White Interior. All original as well, sans heads. Features 16x large lugs, 16x original tension rods, 2x triple flanged chrome over steel hoops, 3x classic leg mounts with original knurled legs, and red felt baseball bat muffler. This drum is just as. lean as the others - deep blue finish, and great chrome that is not pitted out or corroded. This drum does suffer more from the "Ludwig bump" flat spot at the scarf joint than the other two, but this is common for this era of Ludwig drums.

“I love this drum store! I just bought my second kit from Nelson's, and I couldn't be happier. The service and care these guys provide is like none other. This is THE place for vintage drums, fantastic service, and a great community. I've never felt more welcome and at home in a music store than I do here. Keep doing what you are doing!”

“This is a great drum shop and I haven't physically been there yet!! I had an awesome and seamless experience with the team at Nelson Drum Shop during my trade transaction which was done remotely ( I live in Florida).”
