hi there. i just got my "new" 1960 COB Supra (super 400) today. amazing drum. flowers2 it has the heavy brass shell, welded seam, crimped snare beds, rolled bearing edges, the whole bunch.... also COB rims...

i cleaned the drum now, and took it apart.

as opposed to a 1966 super sensitive that i have the imperial lugs are really different though, at least from the inside. there is not as much space in the 1960 ones as in the 1966 ones. when did that change? Also they seem to be very heavy, could they be COB as well???? a magnet does not seem to stick.

also the drum has a p83 strainer. the strainer and the buttend both have a WFL sign engraved. could this be a sign of the drum being a "transition of a transition", so an early 1960s drum? the badge is ludwig keystone without serial of course.....

been waiting for a drum like this for long, me happy.... Clapping Happy2
