1970 Ludwig Club Date Blue Sparkle - $1450
Original Ludwig Club Date kits feature the same 3-ply formula, and hardware quality of its "Pro Level" counterpart. These offer the classic Ludwig tone we've come to love, featuring hardware options that were designed for a more budget friendly price tag back in the day. These are easily some of the hippest kits to have. Club dates have an identity of its own, aesthetically speaking, while offering the quality and tone we demand as pro players. A much overlooked gem of a kit. It sports all original parts, and black oyster wrap. Kit is in excellent condition, with no aftermarket modifications.

1977 Ludwig Super Vistalite Green - $3000
Probably the rarest of the rare Vistalite kit ever. First, It is a green Vistalite which was one of the first colors to be discontinued back in the 70's due to low sales. Word is that somewhere just over 50 were made. Now onto why this kit is even more rare! It is not a standard Vistalite cataloged configuration. It is a customer ordered Super model with original factory ordered rail mount, cymbal mount, and double drum muffler on the tom tom and floor tom. You won't find another drum kit like this! Super clean and minty with absolutely no cracks! New Ludwig Vistalite kits run just around $3000, but ya won't find them in green, or with these custom options.
