Ludwig - 14x5" No. 491, Pioneer Model, 6-Lug, Nickel Hardware, Transition Badge, Snare Drum 1959 - White Marine Pearl

This Pioneer Model Ludwig snare drum is from the keystone transition badge era (1958-1959). We gave this drum a good detailing and it came out gleaming. We added a missing muffler with a chrome muffler knob. The rims, lugs and snare assembly are all nickel. The snare assembly has WFL stamps. It tuned up really nice with a newer Remo, Coated Ambassador.

Great drum for Trad-Jazz!
