I just started another thread, but it was about a Slingerland set I was given by my stepfather. I felt this one deserved its own thread so as to not get lost in the mix.
He also gave me what turns out to be a Ludwig Pioneer snare drum. The only thing that is missing are the snares. Strainer and all that are in tact. I took it apart last night and cleaned it all up...she looks great.
THIS Pioneer is Chrome on Brass - single piece shell. The best I can find on line is that it is probably from the 1930's. No serial number.
I forgot to get a pic....I'll do that later.
Can anyone shed any light on this drum....durability....value, etc? Is this a drum I should be using, or should I just clean her up and stash away for future sale?
Thanks!
