Power, Volume, and Class. That's what you get with this late 70's 6 ply maple stalwart. Riveted seam era (aka Xtra Tuff). While not totally born together, all of these drums are 100% original down to the heads. Bass drum & floor tom are sharp!

14 x 24 - All OG - features 20x large lugs, 20x T-rods & claws, 2x hoops with full Silver Sparkle inlay, 2x 1/2" arc spurs, and diamond tom mount. Everything has been cleaned and is in great shape - the chrome hardware is pretty blemish free - very little pitting, scratching, or rust at all. The finish shows some light patina peppered around, but no particular rough spots - still quite clean overall! Original Silver Dot batter & Ludwig Logo head.

16 x 18 - Also all OG - featuring 16x large classic lugs, 16x tension rods, 2x triple flanged hoops, 3x leg mounts & legs, and muffler. This drum has been cleaned as well and it shows - very very nice chrome all around. The finish shows a couple of scratches and two spots of corrosion, but otherwise also quite clean. Original silver dot batter and clear Ludwig reso.

9 x 13 - This drum is slightly later than the other two (rounded corner badge), otherwise it is a very close match. It has not been deep cleaned like the others, but if polished would shine just as they do. Still all original - 12x large lugs, 12x tension rods, 2x triple flanged hoops, classic mount, and muffler. Original heads - silver dot batter & clear reso. Light tarnish all over, but no severe corrosion.

“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).”
