We will be closed this Saturday for the 4th of July, enjoy your holiday weekend!

Steve’s Notes: Here’s a great set of hi hats with a cool back story: From 2007 til 2014 I managed Charlie Watts’s drum collection in London, including drums from some of the greatest jazz drummers of all time, who were his heroes. (That’s an entire fun story in and of itself, and I’ll write more about that at some future point). But I digress…. In 2012 the Stones were preparing for their 50th anniversary tour, and they were going to rehearse in a location outside NYC. Charlie

This is a set from the original owner’s family. As you may know, Ludwig’s oyster pink finish was not officially offered and estimates are that there were less than 100 sets made. This set features good color without the significant fade that can plague this finish. The chrome needs a thorough cleaning. There is one modification to this set: The original owner apparently decided to add a bracket to the 9x13. Based on the placement of the bracket, all I can think of is that he

We brokered this historic set twice before, and the current owner is now ready to move it along and we’re thrilled to have it back. There is a deep history with this set, and I’ll provide a full provenance document of course. This set is 8x12, 14x14, 14x20, 4x14 snare drum. Caddy green. 24k gold hardware. Gold plated stands and pedals, original calf heads, and the Zildjian K Istanbul cymbals. Truly an incredible time capsule. We’ll be recoding a vdeo a ndalso adding more deta

We have a brand new order of this beautiful wrap coming in and we are taking orders right now for delivery late November. Contact Steve at 630-865-6849 or by email at vintagedrums@aol.com

Truly an incredible specimen here. Check out my video which explains the history of this drum and also discusses the many innovations that Billy created specifically for these Gladstone snares. The video is 13 years old now, which is when I originally sold this drum. Since that time I have brokered more of these rare drums, but suffice it to say that these rarely surface on the market, and this one is exceedingly clean. Truly the Holy Grail of snare drums. Currently set up wi

I’ve been delinquent in listing new items so here we go: New stock always coming in. We’re updating this daily as we get pics and get listings up. In the meantime, don’t wait! If interested contact Steve at 630-865-6849 by text or at vintagedrums@aol.com 10/23: Amazing Craviotto set. Australian Blackwood. One of only two sets made, and unique because this set was built with our diamond cast lugs. Incredibly musical set. Check out te video and the listing here: https://reverb

This is a great WFL (Ludwig) set that belonged to Mousie Alexander, who was a great jazz drummer from the 50s through the 80s. He performed with many great artists including Benny Goodman, Pearl Bailey, Clark Terry, Doc Severinson on the The Tonight Show, and many more. This set has the signs of lots of use and even shows where Mousey had switched over to a double rack tom set up and therefore drilled extra holes. The kit has the 9x13, both 16x16s, the bass drum and the Jazz

Get ready for some fun! Ludwig’s Neusonic series is made from 100% US shells and is a fantastic product. These sets are lightweight with small classic lugs, and are really pro-level sets. You’ll be hard pressed to find a US-made set at this quality and this price point. And now, we are offering custom sets. These 8x12, 14x14, 14x20 kits are hugely versatile, and we are selling these with our Maxwell Ludwig rail mount (a $250 add-on, but just $100 for these sets), as well as v
