READ THIS DESCRIPTION BEFORE PURCHASING. THIS DRUM HAS ROUNDNESS ISSUES. DO NOT BUY THIS DRUM OR MAKE AN OFFER WITHOUT READING THIS DESCRIPTION.

Up for grabs is a beautiful 1970s Ludwig 6.5x14 Black Beauty Super Sensitive Snare Drum, in fantastic cosmetic condition, with the black nickel finish in excellent shape. The entire drum has been disassembled and meticulously cleaned and polished, and stored in a case when not in use.

Importantly, this drum has some issues with heads fitting properly. See the images in this listing for examples of differing diameter measurements from various parts of the drum. This can certainly be fixed, I just don’t have the ability to get it fixed at the moment.

Please note that the waviness in the heads as pictured is only when the drum is fully de-tuned. Once tuned, the heads do not look wavy.

Despite the issues, the drum still plays and sounds great. I took it out on a 3-hour festival gig recently, and it handled like a dream.

This is one of the most desirable models of vintage drums on the market today. Get in at a lower price and better value. You could even fix it and flip it for a great profit!

Please message me with any questions or concerns PRIOR to buying or offering. Thanks for looking!
