Hi all,
I picked up a '69 set of Ludwig Downbeats recently that came with a Standard snare. I know these normally came with a Supraphonic and I have found one locally with a serial number in the same range as the other drums starting with 7. My question is does having the whole set together give it more value than selling the 3 matching drums and the snare separate or would it not really add any value to the whole setup? The person is asking $250 for the snare and it looks to have very minimal pitting. Outside of the value issue I think it would be cool to have the whole thing together. I'd love to have a Downbeat snare but I don't even know if they made them that year and I'm sure I could never afford one! I hope my question makes sense. And by the way, the drums are black oyster pearl.
