If resale was ever going to be an option.

Hmmm, it would have to be extremely custom to have Legacy drums in those sizes and as concert toms. Ludwig doesn't like straying from their standard offerings, and getting them to cook up special SKUs to that extent is unheard-of, unless you're Ringo, Alex Van Halen, Joey Kramer, or Vinnie.
Also, one thing is for sure, those 6 and 8" concert toms are absolutely not Legacy shells - Ludwig can't install the rings on drums in those sizes.
$7900 isn't really that high for everything, but I doubt anybody wants a fairly bombastic kit like that anyway.
Ironic that it doesn't come with a Ludwig snare!

No Ludwig snare is a crime with all the special order custom-ness that is that kit. Would be like ordering a Ferrari without the engine.
And how tall does one have to be to play that thing? 26" double bass with huge toms, I'm almost 6'-1" and would need some phone books for the throne and blocks on the pedals for sure.
So what do you think they are? I would hope that anybody looking to actually buy those things would do some homework, but I am curious what somebody who knows as much about Ludwigs as you thinks this guy is trying to pass of as Legacy's.
I like it.
Worth at least $790.
But $7,900? Not for me...
I'm curious what it will sell for.
Wow......that is all I have to say.
But a better question could be, - why would they ask for those sizes?So, the non-standard drums on this kit are the 22x26" bass drums, and the 15x16 & 18x18 floor toms (I couldn't verify the concert tom depths.)
Here's why something like this seems unlikely: each drum has a SKU that pertains to the shell material, diameter, depth, finish, number/type of lugs, type of hoop, badge, throwoff, etc. Making a drum outside of the specs in a given SKU isn't possible, unless a new SKU with those specs is created in the system. For example, the boss can't just walk over and tell the worker to cut a shell an inch shorter; there has to be a sheet generated with that specification on it. And creating new SKUs is no easy trick. I don't know how much volume a dealer has to do in order to get someone at Ludwig to create at least 4 new SKUs for them, but it's a real stretch.

Bottom line is no matter how special or 'cool' the kit was when you bought it, you will probably not make your money back. =)
