Its a mixed set kit 60's and 70's. Blue olive badge on some. 60's are most probably 3-ply maple with 3-ply reinforcement rings (as you can see from one of his pic's), the other's 70's would be 6-ply maple no reinforcement rings. Finish looks to be in good condition.

Nah, it's most likely 22x16, 13x9 and 16x16. The 60's drums were most likely from a set of Super Classics which were these specs. The long lugs kinda remind me of a jazz fest, but it isn't. It is a great deal though.

Those are actually rather rare. They are Ludwig Customs. They featured the new "Hi-Tension" or "Mach" lug, and were introduced in the 1973 catalog. They cost a little more than the Ludwig Classics, and were considered top-of-the line. Don Brewer of Grand Funk Railroad used them.

There were two kits using these drums, the Mach 4 and the Mach 5.

Its probably a 22"x14" bassdrum. IT must have been measured with the hoops on.
