A beautifulearly-1960s Ludwig Club Date in original Galaxy Pearl. 8×12″ tom, 14×14″ floor tom, 14×20″ kick drum, and 5×14″ Pioneer snare drum. Center lugs, telescoping spurs, replacement Inde Labs tom mount (no extra holes), and telescoping cymbal bracket. The Club Dates were constructed using Ludwig’s classic 3-ply shells and outfitted with a hardware configuration that allowed them to be designated as a “budget” alternative to the same-sized Downbeat kit. Galaxy Pearl is a high-class finish that was only available for 2 catalog years (1962-’63), and this paired with the nickel-plated hardware and very clean condition makes for a rare and very desirable combination.
The drums tune up nicely and sound rich, tubby, and focused. As far as classic, vintage tone, it truly doesn’t get much better than this.
