Russ McKinnon's (Barry Manilow, Tower of Power) Ludwig 14x5" Super-Sensitive Snare Drum 1968 - SIGNED!

Performing over 3,000 major concert events in over 40 countries, Russ McKinnon has sat in some of the most desired and demanding drum chairs in the music industry.  Playing and recording with some of the biggest names in the business, this humble sideman's legendary lineup of headliners and top producers is clearly impressive. Tower of Power, Joe Cocker, Barry Manilow, David Foster, Phil Ramone, Clive Davis, Elton John and Bette Midler are just the tip of the iceberg.

This 1968 Ludwig Super-Sensitive snare drum was part of the Russ McKinnon's very first drum set. The rest of the set is long gone, but he's held onto this beauty since 1968. The drum served him well in the early stages of his career. No it's time to let it inspire a new generation of drummers.

The drum has been meticulously taken care of. There's some pitting in one area of the shell, otherwise it's flawless. Everything works exactly as it should. The Supersensitive throw off works smooth and solid. New Remo heads top and bottom. New Puresound Snare wires. This is a beautiful drum that started the career of a fantastic drummer.

Clearly date stamped March 5, 1968.

Serial Number: #593645

Acquired directly from Russ McKinnon, COA signed by Russ McKinnon.
