Ok. So when I would play in Europe back in the day, I got a 14" Ludwig snare as a rental and fell in love with it. It was the best sounding snare I've ever played. The rental company refused to sell it to me. Recently I've been searching for what model it was.
Well.... I found a video of me playing it! Thank God for youtube,
Please help me indentify this snare. THX!

Looks like a 4'x14 Buddy Rich "Be-Bop" later to be called the "Compacto"
Or..
the 4"x14" Downbeat..

Sold it years ago, regretted immediately
I have no idea about the snare sorry but, surprise, surprise, I do know the band. Very cool (although I think you had some far finer moments than that 10cc cover). And still going strong? Cool1
Oh man, now I'm gonna have that Scooby Snacks song stuck in my head all day.
hey! that drum is on the cover of blind faith. clapton is merrily tromping a tune on one of em.
