A recent acquisition. 1935 Ludwig & Ludwig 5x14 snare. Shell is a solid 1 ply, all parts are original except the heads and snares. Time piece throw off. 8 Imperial lugs. Brass oval badge.
Probably the best drum I've ever played. I guess it must have been designed as an orchestral snare. The buzz rolls on this are exceptional. And it is loud! What a crack! What is the opposite of dry sounding? I guess the drum sounds moist!
NOB hardware is really pretty. Only problem is the rim destroys my sticks. I'm very pleased with it. T-rods thread directly into the lug covers as opposed to having inserts and springs. I haven't enjoyed a purchase this much in a while.
Does anyone know anything about this drum?
Regards,
Gary
