VINTAGE LUDWIG Super Ludwig Early 60s 14x5 COB


The legendary Ludwig "Super Ludwig".

This is a 14x5-inch model manufactured in the early 1960s, featuring a COB (Chrome Over Brass) finish.

This instrument boasts the rich, full-bodied resonance characteristic of COB, along with the abundant overtones and warmth unique to brass shells.

This historic model, beloved by Steve Gadd and countless other drummers, remains immensely popular to this day.


This unit shows signs of use characteristic of vintage items.

The hitting surface shows peeling, with numerous impact marks around the bat. Minor scratches and dents are visible on the shell and parts.

Additionally, the mute parts have been replaced with ones from a different era.

The hoop retains its original COB specifications, preserving its presence from that era.

The Snappy uses CANOPUS BB14NP wire.


The sound is truly “super Ludwig” with a commanding presence.

Its uniquely rich, full-bodied tone offers something you simply can't experience with current models.

It's an exceptionally valuable piece, both for players and as a collector's item.
