Original 1960s Ludwig marching/parade snare drum in beautiful Blue Sparkle finish, featuring the highly desirable pre-serial Keystone badge and original 3-ply shell with reinforcement rings and white painted interior.

The wrap is original and in excellent condition, with deep shine and vibrant sparkle throughout. Chrome hardware presents very well for its age. Shell is clean, structurally solid and fully functional.

Fitted with:

Vintage used Remo batter head

New Remo snare side head

New Puresound 15" snare wires

This drum delivers the huge warm tone that early Ludwig 3-ply shells are known for — powerful, deep and extremely resonant.

Very good vintage condition overall with only a slight bend on one hoop (clearly shown in photos). Purely cosmetic and does not affect functionality.

An amazing piece for collectors, vintage Ludwig enthusiasts, or players looking for a massive fat snare sound or a unique conversion project.

Detailed photos included of shell, badge, hardware and overall condition.

Worldwide shipping available.
