Vintage Copper Kettle Drum 27-1/4" Timpani Tympani - Ludwig ?

Add this to your drum set for some Led Zep-type thunder!  Great for a recording studio or music school, or convert it into a very cool table.

This is an old kettle drum.  I'm guessing that it was made by Ludwig, but I'm not certain of that.

The shell measures around 27-1/4" in diameter, and I believe that the head size is 28".  The head is recent and has plenty of life left.  There's no pedal; I'm not sure if it ever had one, or whether it can be rigged to one.  The stand we're using is a floor tom cradle with the tops of the legs sawed off.  We'll include it with the drum.

The first three photos were taken with the drum in the same position.  The last five were taken with each remaining lug forward, so you can examine the entire bowl.  There are plenty of dents, scratches, etc., but the drum is in pretty nice shape.  It's probably worth more than we're asking just in terms of the value of the material.

Local pickup only for obvious reasons!  Final sale. Unfortunately our store is closed to the public at the moment, so you can't come and play the drum. But read my description above and ask any questions in advance.

Thanks!
