4x14 Ajax Snare

Posts: 91 Threads: 36

Hi

I just won in an auction bid a 60’s 4x14 Ajax snare, I would like to replace the heads, our standard heads won’t work because the hoop rim of the head is to thick so it touches the lugs stopping the rims from tightening up. Does anyone know where I might find heads for this drum ?

I would appreciate any help

Thanks

If there that close maybe the Remo Encore heads will work. They are really a low end head but may work for you.

No Guru - I just love collecting & learning about vintage drums!

Some of my favorites from the kits in the collection
58 WFL New Yorker Blue Sparkle
67 Ludwig Hollywood Red Psychedelic
69 Ludwig Standard Red Ruby Strata
70's Ludwig BOP "Ringo" Kit

A few of my favorite snares
20's Leedy Black Elite
51 Leedy & Ludwig Knob Tension
58 WFL Buddy Rich Classic Blue Sparkle
63 Walberg & Auge Sea Blue Agave Green Pearl
66 Leedy Shelly Manne Blue Agate Pearl
