Probably not..

Here is an article on the topic of COB Shells

David

I've had both the Ludalloy and the COB Supras and can assure you that the weight difference is SIGNIFICANTLY noticeable.

My COB weighs over 9 lbs, while the Ludalloy I had weighed in the 6 pound range.

Just thought I'd throw that in. Hope it helps.

Yikes.....I just looked and realized that I typed in the wrong date....(!!!!!??) It's a 1965! Also, a magnet does NOT stick to it...maybe I'm dumb, but I don't know if aluminum actually attracts them...(Duh)

From what I've read, they stopped the brass around 1961, and there's a Supra on eBay that's billed as a COB...but it's a 1962.

So, if you guys don't mind..one more time please

Thanks, and

Keep it Funky

Magnets do NOT stick to aluminum or brass.

Can't help you with the other questions - Sorry :)

Wow! This is getting strange...

OK, a magnet doesn't stick to this drum. The bearing edges do NOT curl under as a brass drum should...(at least by the Ludwig Book) and there is no, "Ludalloy" sticker inside. (This drum is in mint, original condition but for the heads....)

What do I have?????

All the help I'm getting is deeply appriciated!!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Keep it Funky!

I can almost guarantee that your drum is aluminum alloy, not brass. The Ludalloy stickers didn't start showing up until the 70's, I believe.

Thanks for the info!!!
