Nice find! I actually had that exact same set up! I really like ducos.
Is it a 22” and a 13”? That’s usually the sizes they sold the kick/rack tom set up.
I think you should be able to get $500, maybe $600 as long as there are no holes or modifications. Unfortunately finding a floor tom is always the hardest part. For Club Date drums like those you’ll either find a 14x14 or 15x12.
You could possibly find a 15x12 “tenor tom” and add floor tom legs. I’ve done that in the past with Club Date drums because you can usually find a tenor tom for $100 or less, instead of playing $400 or $500 for a floor tom.

Great score! That was Ludwig's entry level stuff around the time I started playing in bands. I think what made it "entry level" was that it was lacquered instead of having a pearl formica wrap on it like the fancy ones. In the early '70s I had a set of those assembled from mismatched singles from the flea market when I made an attempt to learn drums. Wish I still had 'em...

Even though Club Dates were the budget line, they are the same shells, and personally I find painted drums to have more resonance than wrapped drums. Also the Club Dates having less hardware I think helps in a similar way. Definitely worth holding on to. I wish I’d never sold my blue and white ducos but got discouraged trying to find a floor tom

I haven't really had a minute to check them out yet. When I picked up the kick, it felt like a 20", but could be wrong. Not sure what the rack is either. Saw the ad, responded last night, picked them up this morning before work. I've wanted to pick up a vintage kit for a while to compliment my DW kit and the price was right on this one. 😁😁

Although he offers every kind of wrap you can imagine, his personal kit is bare laquered wood. |
