Hello vintage Ludwig drum fans.

Here we have a vintage Ludwig Down Beat 20 round x 14 inch bass drum shell.

Finished in original silver sparkle wrap.

Keystone badge, pre-serial number badge placing the production date in the earlier 1960s.

All of the original hardware has been removed except for the badge and the rack tom rail mount base. 

All holes are original except for holes on top of the drum where a previous owner added a Ludwig diamond plate single shaft tom mounting port with shaft hole and four small mounting screw mounting holes. Eight lug hole pattern drum with original holes for 4 original legs/spurs and tom rail mount base.

Original Keystone badge and grommet are in place and in excellent condition, badge and grommet secured firmly to the shell.

Original silver sparkle wrap that is in excellent condition -- rich, glossy shine and vibrant sparkle finish. Even color, no color differentiation. Tight seam no lifting or bubbling. 

No tom rash. No shell damage. Bearing edges, interior and reinforcement rings are excellent. Shell is in round. Original natural wood finish shell interior.

Perfect affordable shell for restoring/building your vintage Ludwig bass drum.

See my other vintage drum parts listed on Reverb (some of the parts listed will fit this drum shell). Combined shipping is available.

As shown in last photo I also have available the original Ludwig Downbeat 14 x 14 floor tom, 12 round x 8 rack tom, and 14 x 5 Pioneer snare drum that were sold new with this bass drum. All drums in matching silver sparkle finish and all in excellent condition. I can sell these drums in any combination and combine ship with the bass drum shell. Contact me for details. 

Fast, insured shipping.
