This stunning Ludwig Pioneer 14x5.5" snare drum from 1967 is in superb condition for it's 54 year life! The 'Sparkling Blue Pearl' finish, as it was names in the 1967 catalogue (see last image), is in superb condition.
The shell is made up of 3-ply maple/poplar/maple, and has reinforcement rings. The drum has 6-lugs, which mean there are plenty of overtones and nuances that really give these snares character, also allowing them to be tuned lower than 8 and 10 lug snares.
Complete with Keystone badge, and all original parts, with no pitting on the lugs, and some slight pitting on the throw off. After photographing, the drum has been stripped and serviced in house at Horny's Drums, and is fitted with a matching Remo Powerstroke P77 Colortone batter head (which can be replaced at buyers request), Ludwig snare side head, and brand new 20-stand dry wires.
