Ludwig 12/13/14/16/22" Hollywood+ Drum Set - 1970s Oyster Blue Pearl
Couldn't load pickup availability
A set of Ludwig drums in the distinctive 1970s version of oyster blue pearl, sometimes affectionately called the "bowling ball" finish.
Sizes are 8x12", 9x13", and 10x14" mounted toms; 16x16" floor tom; and 14x22" kick drum.
All the drums have granitone interiors, except for the 10x14", which has the earlier-era white paint. This is most likely a Hollywood Outfit with the 10x14" being added later or possibly ordered as an add-on to the configuration and taken out of older shell stock. All drums seem to be fully original, with the exception of the resonant-side bass drum hoop, which appears to be a slightly thinner replacement with matte black paint.
The wrap is slightly faded, and there are some small cracks in it, which is common for this wrap. One larger area of cracking appears on the top area of the bass drum. Medium tarnish/pitting on the chrome. The 9x13" is missing a 1.5" wide strip of wrap that runs the depth of the shell.
Overall a great-sounding kit in a unique and eye-catching vintage finish.

Mint (Used)
Mint condition items are completely blemish-free and have not been modified in any way. If there are any blemishes and/or modifications, the item needs to be listed as a condition less than mint.

Excellent items are almost entirely free from blemishes and other visual defects and have been played or used with the utmost care. When an item has been used, but only has minor cosmetic defects, this can be considered Excellent. Minor surface level scratches, such as fingerprints or stick marks from regular use, would qualify.
Very Good (Used)
Very Good describes items with more cosmetic imperfections than Excellent, but are still in great condition overall. There may be some scratches, finish dings, slight keyholing or light pitting, but nothing that affects the playability or function of the gear.
Good (Used)
Good condition includes items that are in fine working order, but have significant cosmetic imperfections. A cymbal with substantial fleabites, or an old snare drum with some surface rust on the lugs would be classified as Good. Items with dents, or corrosion qualify as Good as long as they are still playable and fully functional.
