1960’s Ludwig Black Galaxy Drum Set
October 3rd, 2013Original 60’s Ludwig Black Galaxy drum set for sale. This 3 piece kit consists of a 1965 Club Date with a 1967 Super Classic floor tom. All shells are 3-ply with reinforcement rings and white interiors. Both toms have white baseball bat mufflers. Wrap and keystone badges on all drums is original. Black Galaxy is arguably the rarest Ludwig wrap after Pink Oyster. Very limited production. All drums have a nice even fade. Wrap has typical nicks and scuffs here and there but the color conceals them well. Chrome has some pitting but overall it looks pretty good. No extra holes or modifications. All interiors and edges are in great shape and appear to be original. See photos and details below.
1965 Club Date – 14×20 Bass Drum
Original rail consolette, cymbal L-arm bracket, spurs, hoops and hoop inlays. A little lift on the outer wrap seam but very tight where the wrap goes into the shell. Small crack on the inner ply near the tom side spur. I bought it like that 15 years ago and it hasn’t changed nor does it affect tone or playability. Date stamp is illegible but serial # confirms 1965.
1965 Club Date – 8×12 Rack Tom
Original muffler and tom bracket. Some snare rash. A little lift on the outer wrap seam but very tight where the wrap goes into the shell. Date stamp is illegible but serial # confirms 1965.
1967 Super Classic – 16×16 Floor Tom
Original muffler and leg brackets. Non-original legs. Seam is very tight. Date stamp is Mar 6 1967.
This kit is in good shape for being 45+ years old and has been my main kit for the past 15 years.
