That Henry Adler badge is so cool! I always wanted to have met him, he seemed like such a nice guy. Crazy nice drum... Curious too about it being solid? Is it like the wood Ludwig Super? I believe that was solid mahogany or walnut. Early Ludwig guys help me out here...

Oh my, that's pretty!!

Thanks for the comments. Forgot to mention it is a solid mahogany shell with maple re rings. It does play very nicely and has a great vintage tone, with good sensitivity due to the 4" depth. I really like playing it with brushes. The fact that the Henry Adler decal remains is very surprising. I love to see vintage pieces that have drum shop decals.

The strainer is original, but has a bit later adjustment knob on it (which has been corrected since the photo).
