1971 Ludwig Mod Orange 20" 12" 13" 16"

Custom ordered Ludwig Mod Orange set from February 1971.  All drums are date stamped between 2 days of each other. Clear maple interiors with Blue & Olive badges with serial numbers 85XXXX. This kit was ordered as a double bass set, but it looks like one drum wasn't used very much, and is being sold separately, as the wrap fade isn't nearly as dramatic as these are. Most of the purple/lavender has faded from the wrap on this kit.

14"x 20" bass drum is virgin with original early 70's curved spurs. Rims are original with the inlay still intact. Some wear at the point of pedal contact, but the rims are in exceptional condition overall. The wrap has faded, and the 2 seams on the under side of the drum are starting to pull away, but could easily be re-glued. The badge is somewhat damaged from handling, and has lifted away from the shell on both sides. 

Toms are mounted on a double tom stand. Comes with the Ludwig large hex wrench for adjustments. The tom stand is missing the rubber feet, and has age appropriate wear.

The 8"x 12" and 9"x 13" rack toms both have a fair amount of fading to the wrap, and the badge is lifting on both sides. The tom mounts are still clean and functional, but have some surface dirt. Internal round control mutes are still fully intact and functional on both drums. 

The 16" x 16" floor tom has some lifting on the seam, and has some scuffs and wear on the wrap. The legs and mounts are all original and functional, and have surface dirt, but no major gig wear. 

Sadly, much of the purple has faded from the wrap of this kit, but it's still a very cool looking and sounding early 70's Ludwig set that's got the vibe and cache'.
