An
early 60's Ludwig Super Sensitive with a heavy
brass shell, triple flanged hoops, and a die cast throw off lever.
The
original Ludwig Super Sensitive had been in production
from 1929 to 1935. That particular model had an
additional set of internal snares which pressed
against the batter head.
When
the drum was re-introduced in the 60's, the internal
snares were dropped.

The
Ludwig catalog describes this drum as “
a new solo soprano percussion voice ideal for
today's intricate, rhythmic patterns.”
The 3 x 13 shell produces the crisp sound demanded
by so many of today's top percussion artists.

Comments:
This
drum was in production from 1960 to 1970. It was
the drum of choice for players who didn't want
to use the 5 x 14 or the deeper 6 ½ x 14.
Some
say this particular drum has limited use, although
I haven't found that to be the case.

Comments:
Barrett
Deems was a very well known drummer from Chicago.
He billed himself as the “World's Fastest
Drummer.” He played with various musicians,
most notably Louis Armstrong.
In
1960, Ludwig changed the name of this model
to the Jazz Festival. A few years later a certain
drummer by the name of Ringo Starr bought one
of these drums to go with his Black Oyster Pearl
kit. The rest, as they say, is history.
