Here is a seriously lovely snare drum for your consideration, a 61/2 X 14 William F. Ludwig Ray McKinley Super Classic, the WFL badge places it in the 1948 - 1952 range. I've never had more compliments from sound techs about any other drum, I use it most tuned low for a fat and beefy sound. Almost certainly a re-wrap, but this is the way it came to me.

Here is a link to a thread on VDF discussing the drum - if you're interested, it's worth a read. Photos are here too>

I'm coming to Chicago in April for a weekend, and can bring the drum with me to do a trade. Folks, it would be great to see this drum come home.

Trade items - player drums are cool but no extra holes please:
