Authentic vintage Ludwig timbales are exceptionally hard to find, especially as a complete and original set such as this.

Good vintage condition, fully original and unmodified. Light dings and surface marks are present, consistent with age and honest use, and do not affect sound, tuning, or structural integrity.

Construction & Features:

  • Solid copper shells with classic Ludwig tone and projection

  • Original die-cast hoops

  • 6 mini lugs per drum

  • Complete with original stand mounting clips

  • No extra holes, no replacements, no modifications

Service & Playability:
Both timbales have been completely disassembled, carefully inspected, cleaned, and professionally reassembled, ensuring excellent playability while preserving full originality.

Sound:
Bright, cutting, and articulate, with the unmistakable warmth and metallic complexity of vintage copper—ideal for Latin, Afro-Cuban, jazz, fusion, and studio work.

A rare opportunity to acquire an all-original set of mid-1960s Ludwig copper timbales, equally suited for collectors and serious players.
