Ludwig

Ludwig Supersensitive Snare Drum

Description:
- Early 60's production
- 5 1/2 x 14
- Brass Shell, 18 strand wire
 
Comments:

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.

Ludwig Piccolo Snare Drum

Description:
- Early 80's Drum
- 3 x 13
- Metal Alloy Shell, Pioneer Snare Strainer
 
Comments:

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.

Ludwig Downbeat Model

Description:
- Late 60's Drum
- 4 x 14
- Black Diamond Pearl, Pioneer Strainer, Separate Tension Casings
 
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.

$875.00 (free shipping in the USA)

Ludwig Barrett Deems Model Snare Drum

Description:
- 5 x 14
- Gold Sparkle
- 1959/60
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.
