Up for sale is a vintage Ludwig 1963 Preserial 14" x 5" Pioneer Snare Drum in Blue/Silver Duco. Ink date stamp "FEB 18 1963". Actual depth is approximately 5.25".
This drum is in good working order. The shell is in round with nice bearing edges, but the paint is flaking off throughout and there is a sticker on the back of the drum. The badge and grommet appear to be original and never removed, but they are both loose. The nickel hardware is in decent shape with little pitting and rust, and the strainer and muffler both work great. The top hoop is brass but the bottom is steel. Tension rods, snare wires, and bottom head are all original. The bottom head has a few small tears but the wires are nice and straight.
