1970s Ludwig Octaplus in Mahogany Cortex - 16x24, 9x6, 9x8, 9x10, 11x12, 12x13, 13x14, 14x15, 15x16, 16x18

Quite possibly the greatest example of early 80's over indulgence to ever grace our humble drum shop. Not only do we have here the FULL 8 note octave of toms that gives the Octaplus it's name sake, but they are POWER DEPTH as well as DOUBLE HEADED! A whole lot of drum. No shortage on volume with the 6 ply maple shells. Rounded corner Blue/Olive Badge. 

Overall this kit is pretty clean - Mahogany Cortex finish is almost indestructible. There are some scratches on top of the bass drum from the toms resting atop. Chrome is pretty good overall, with normal tarnish but no excessive pitting or rust. 

We won't go into the details for every singe drum, but the kits is pretty much original except for the heads. All of the mounted toms feature classic 9.5 mm mounts (not the clip mounts), small lugs, and triple flanged hoops with original tension rods. The Floor tom features large classic lugs, round knob muffler, and 3x leg mounts with legs. The bass drum is virgin, full 20x T-rods & claws, with a pair of 1/2" curved spurs and original hoops missing inlays. Even original head still there! 

4 double tom mounted stands included. 

Due to the sheer scale of this kit, shipping is a bit more expensive than the majority of the kits we have online.
