Ludwig No. 410 Super-Sensitive 5x14" 10-Lug Aluminum Snare Drum with Pre-Serial Keystone Badge. Brass Bottom Hoop.
One of the greatest snare drums ever made. This drum marks an important milestone in the evolution of the Ludwig Supersensitive snare drum. The earliest Supers had brass shells and hoops, rotary mufflers, crimped snare beds and no serial number. This drum is the first step of the evolution. In 1963 Ludwig started producing Supersensitives like this one with aluminum shells, brass hoops and baseball bat mufflers. By the end of the same year they stopped making crimped snare beds and began adding serial numbers to the Keystone badge.
This snare came from the UK. It's very clean but the finish is quite pitted and worn. The internal muffler has been removed. Brass bottom hoop. Top hoop is steel. Everything works as intended. The photos tell all.
