Rob Hirst/Midnight Oil 1979 Black Ludwig Touring and Recording Drumkit
Rob Hirst - 1979 recording and touring drumkit
The kit was purchased new for the recording of Midnight Oil’s
Head Injuries album, and was the centrepiece of most of the
band’s stage set-ups from 1979 to 2022 – it’s been around the
world countless times, a real frequent flyer.
The shells display the famous blue and olive badges, serial
numbers 1742646 to 1742980.
All proceeds will go to the ‘Fix-Em-Up Truck Campaign’, which
aims to provide new gear, equipment repairs and useful advice
