Vintage Ludwig Pressure Bass Drum Muffler
This muffler is probably from the early 60s.
This muffler is mostly original nickel over brass but there is some later chrome parts added. The tension of the muffling isn't adjustable like the usual ones I sell of these, but still works great.
Some aging to be expected.
Engraved Ludwig stamping.
Felt is in great shape.
Works all as it should.

1960s Slingerland 'Deep Hand Bongos' 6"x10" & 8"x10" in Black Sparkle Pearl
These bongos have been stripped, cleaned and polished. They have cleaned up nicely. Some of the wrap on the centre wooden beams has lifted in places, or is missing.
The heads I believe are original and are well used but still function. One of the heads has worn through a bit.
Catalog scans are from 1968 but these were advertised all throughout the 60s.
Youâd struggle to find another set of these in this finish. The kits in this finish are rare. The bongos even rarer!
The stand is included with the sale. Iâm not sure how original the stand is and how good it is but it does seem to function.

1940's Leedy 11x7" single tensioned tom in Black Pearl
I suspect this was originally part of an 'Improved New Yorkerâ outfit
No tom mount included, but holes still remain. In the absence of a tom holder, the tom has been used in a snare stand basket which has chipped some of the wrap.
Original NOB hardware.
Fitted with Remo Coated Ambassador and tacked bottom.
Please see photos for condition.
Index Drums Shaker - Hoppy
All the way from Louisiana, USA; Index Drums Shakers are the original steel can shaker made from vintage beer and soda cans from a bygone era.
The 12oz is the perfect size to throw in a stick bag. They are much more durable than modern cans, with thicker walls and a stronger shape.
The Hoppy has a crisp tone, with medium attack and volume; rich metallic sound and good control.
The Smooth is much quieter than the "hoppy", and more suited for small venues. This is on the softer side, but with the same metallic flavor. Similar fill to the ever-popular egg shaker.
The Stout is a wild organic shaker with tons of personality. It kind of tumbles along, crunching it's way through your tracks, making everything a little better.
The Pony is similar to the Hoppy, but without the metallic attack and a little lower volume.
The Bonzo is a rowdy metal maraca. Lots of action, lots of energy, plenty of volume. If the Smooth is a 3 and the Hoppy is a 7, the Bonzo's is an 11.
Due to the age of these cans, they can show aging and have minor dents. This is all part of their charm and is to expected and celebrated.
Shakers will be posted with Royal Mail Tracked 24. Orders aim to be dispatched within 1-3 working days.

Index Drums - HardHat
The HardHat gives you adjustable sounds like a closed Hi-Hat, but fits in a stick bag and mounts easily.
The Index HardHat is made from 4 pieces of metal, stacked interchangeably to provide a sound as loose or as clicky as you want. Handmade in Louisiana and made using a variety of beautiful woods for the block, all sealed in a durable clear finish, so find a grain that speaks to you go for it!

On the end of a standard cymbal stand or boom stand (with or without cymbal)
Stacked on another cymbal with a Gibraltar SC-MCSA4 or similar
Using an LP373 woodblock mount and clamping it to a percussion rod
