Help me identify this Ludwig! Last viewed: 2 hours ago

Posts: 7 Threads: 4

Hey Guys,

I'm new to this whole Vintage Drum scene, but have recently done some research, and am pretty excited about a few drums that were given to me by my grandmother, who recently passed away. These were played by my Great Uncle many years ago, and are in great shape. The pictures at the bottom are of a Ludwig & Ludwig snare drum. After looking at this website, and a few others, my guess is that its a 1920's, but I'm not completley sure. Please help me out in identifying exactly what kind of drum this is, and if its worth anything. I will have the link to my photo bucket account with more pictures. Thanks guys!

I appreciate the help! I know for a fact that this is all Original, its got a cow hide head on it right now, with upper and lower snares (i'm assuming thats where the "super sensitive" part comes in). Any idea if it is worth more Original or restored?

It's worth more in its original condition as long as no parts are missing and everything is intact and working properly. A good cleaning is usually all that's required in most cases. Nice drum.
