Note: In the pic showing the silver dot - that is not a blemish on the head - it is a reflection showing the cloud above!
Before a description of the model below, let me share with you that this drum is not a collector (don't buy it if you are trying to find one) rather it is a player and a nice drum with NOS retro heads. It is a 15 inch drum. 12x15
The heads are Luddys, and the box the top came in is included for nostalgia sake! AAAhhh remember those white and blue boxes - it immediately makes me think of better sounding drums :)
....like the smell of a new Cd insert or cassette J-card!....triggering thoughts of fresh new music!
NOTICE: The gut wires (8 out of the 12 of them) are off a 14 inch drum, and thus do not fit. But, I am leaving them on there and part of the deal because I have no use for them. It will need a set of 15 inch gut wires.
I also have a bunch of older marching accessories (like the leg part and straps and such....many NOS)
Asked more on the bay and CL, and have brought this down to $100 plus shipping (FIRM). Shipping from 48423 Zip Code.
BTW - I have 5 14 inch Pearl marching snares as well - from the 70s-80s....that need heads and wires.....ask about them if you are interested.
