For sale or trade:

A silver sparkle 10 lug Ludwig bass drum that is 26" x 10". It has a gold badge with blue graphics/text that says Ludwig Chicago, USA. I believe this is called the Keystone Transition badge which would mean that the date is from 1958/1959. It's a marching drum that I'd guess has been used as a kick because it only has one hoop. It has re-rings and the wood appears to be in nice shape given the age. The wrap is yellowed but is in surprisingly good shape except for a few scuffs which may buff out. The wrap on the hoop has a gap of about 1/2" where the ends of the seams no longer meet. There are two circular rings which is, I guess, where it was attached for marching. It does not currently have a head on it.

Thanks.
