1968 Ludwig Super Classic 3 Piece Drum Set Restoration 

such a unique sounding kit, definitely one of the best Ludwig kits money can buy

Thank you so much for this. Not only was it great to see the restoration but I also found it was incredibly relaxing to watch. 🙏🏻

Never disappointed watching your content. It’s blue sparkle how can you not dig it.

That's a beuatifull Drum Set, Indeed. I'm considering in buy me a GRETSCH Renegade in Blue Mist Color, very similiar as this drum kit

Great restore work, Let that set sing with some coated Ambassador heads, 60s 3 ply sing with them.

hello, what compounds are using with your buffer? sorry if you already said so in the video....

Thank you for the wisdom!!

If you do that much work I would of put all new heads on it

Thank you so much for sharing your skillful ability to bring that classic set back to like new life.

From my perspective the last letter looks like a P which could be SEP.

Well done. I still have a 1962 Ludwig double 8X12 tom toms, 16X16 floor tom and a 22” Base drum. White marine pearl set. I think it was called the Hollywood set. I was 16 in 1963. I played many a gig with these back in the day and have the hearing aids to show for it. My father paid around $ 512.00 for this kit including the metal snare , 2 cymbal stands, snare stand and the speed king base pedal. Except for a small round cigarette burn near on top near the rear ( fraternity party ) hoop and a slight yellowing of the pearl they appear new. I put a small bit of plastic wood on the burn and then a small square of white tape on that. Those were the days 😂!!

Those are nice cans. I was always a Slingerland fan. I custon ordered a set with three ply maple with rerings. Still have them and they sound great. I bet those are Jasper shells.

I restored the Ludwig cloud logo on the bottom of the resonant side. I use a quarter to restore the 3 clouds of the logo as it is the right diameter with a fine point sharpie. The using a good image from another head just hand drew the Weathermaster and pat. # wording on the bottom. It came out very nice. Just a tip for restoring a weak bottom logo.

I need all the Ludwig sets! Just do!! Thanks for the video.

Smells like 1968😂😂. Nice kit! Good job.

awesome trick using the heat gun to get the dent out of that head!!!!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I've got a 1968 Ludwig Super Classic Blue Sparkle kit. Date stamps of FEB 5 1968. They are painted white on the inside. Really nice sounding drums. Can't beat the smell when the heads are taken off!

Bruce, Nice work on that sweet Ludwig kit! Watching your channel always makes me Happy! And by the way cool demo as well. I like the sound of the calf skins on those drums, not something you hear everyday on that vintage Ludwig’s but such a classic sound - dark and punchy. So much Soul! Like what the early masters played. Please keep the great content coming. P.S. Can I contact you with a few questions/ adviseI on a Oaklawn Camco set I have that I am in the process of restoring? I wouldn’t want to be a bother.

Ahh this is nice! I have a '69 Hollywood in Champagne sparkle. All clear interiors. All 1st year Atlas hardware. I just love it. Nice work!

Very cool! Old drums and drummers need some love too

Nice set Bruce! I just got a 60's WMP downbeat yesterday.

What a killer set. Sounds really good with those calf heads.
