1981 Ludwig USA Maple Concert Tom Arena Drum Kit – Massive Collector Setup – Complete w/ Cases
Rare opportunity to own an enormous professionally configured 1981 Ludwig USA maple concert tom setup in original white finish. This is a true vintage arena-rock / studio-style monster kit with original Ludwig and Tama hardware, vintage Zildjian cymbals, Rogers chrome snare, and matching Anvil fiber cases for every drum.
This is not a pieced-together kit. It is a complete period-correct professional setup with tremendous stage presence and collector appeal. (I had these drums custom built by Ludwig for me in the specific sizes and configurations) The kit looks AMAZING on any stage! (sorry about the "basement photos")
Configuration includes:
• 24" bass drum with front hoop and resonant head
• Concert toms:
6", 8", 10", 12", 12", 13", 14", 15", 16", 18"
- RotoToms:
6", 8", 10", 12"
• Rogers chrome snare drum
• Original Ludwig and Tama hardware throughout
• Tama Imperial series hi-hat stand
• Tama bass drum pedal
- Tama Titan Throne
• Vintage Zildjian, Paiste, Sabian cymbal package including:
22" ride, 20" China, 10" swish, plus 4 additional cymbals of various sizes/types (two are cracked)
- Includes cowbells, Marktree and stand
• Complete Anvil fiber case set for all drums (some cases hold two drums, one inside the other)
Condition:
Very good vintage condition overall. Finish presents well. Hardware is original. Kit has been carefully stored and remains complete. Cymbals are in good shape. An increasingly difficult setup to find intact, especially with cases and original hardware included.
Previously appraised and insured for $13,500 replacement value.
This setup has the unmistakable look and feel of the classic 1980s arena/studio kits used by progressive rock and touring drummers of the era.
Perfect for:
• Vintage drum collectors
• Recording studios
• Tribute/prog/classic rock drummers
• Display/showpiece installations
• Serious Ludwig enthusiasts
