Description Size: 5 x 15 Type: Kit Snare Brand: Ludwig Drum Type: Acoustic Drum Model: Theatre Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Material: Brass
This drum first appeared in the 1914 Ludwig catalog (as shown in photos). It’s the 5 x 15 Theatre model and is nickel plated brass with chromed steel rims. The shell is spun, not rolled and welded. The top rim is engraved Ludwig & Ludwig Chicago. Both have a little plating loss and minimal “rust”. The original nickel plated brass tube lugs are included but have been replaced with unplated brass lugs. All original tension rods are included but have been replaced with brass rods. The original butt plate is broken, but will be included. It was replaced with a Ludwig P-32. Heads are new, the drums tuned and sounds great. This is NOT a museum piece but a superb players drum in very good condition. Good enough that you can place it on a shelf for display if you're a collector. I’m in no hurry to sell, but do need to thin down my snare collection.FYI: The tube lugs are listed separately here on ebay so if they sell, they won't be included with purchase of this 100 year old Ludwig drum. Small Print Stuff: 1) Payment required within 24 hours of auction end. If not received within 24 hours, item will be relisted. NO EXCEPTIONS unless agreed to by seller through EBAY messaging during auction or within 24 hours of auction ending. 2) With perfect feedback and as a drummer for more than 50 years, I DO NOT sell anything I wouldn’t buy for myself. I have other snares and drum related items listed here on ebay. Look in your upper right corner under Seller Information and click SEE OTHER ITEMS. 3) I always leave positive feedback. The caveat is….as a buyer you must leave your feedback first. Thanks for your interest.
