Ludwig pre serial Super Sensitive 14” x 5” Snare Drum

I’ve been collecting drums for over 30 years, and decided I have more than I need.
So, I’m letting some amazing kits, snares, and other drum gear go so it can be enjoyed by others.
Much of this gear is very rare, and you may not see items like these for sale again.

Edited Quotes from Ludwig catalogues,,,,,,,,

Once again Wm. F. Ludwig brings you a snare drum that is a miracle of tonal vividness and response, an instrument of ultimate perfection… the Super Sensitive featuring the exclusive dual throw-off snare release.

Dual throw-off provides parallel snare control with two complete mechanisms operated by a single control lever.

Snares are released from both sides at once, moving away from the head under constant and even
tension.

Solid one-piece shell is precision formed with centre bead and flanged edges for triple strength.

This is the new Acoustic-Perfect aluminium shell developed by Ludwig.

An entirely new principle in shell design assures instant response and undistorted snare action at all volume levels.

The result is a drum sound with exciting new clarity and brilliance.

Stick rebound is faster, easier, playing is more effortless.

From the entire drum head, response is instant, true, undistorted, and choke-free at full power.

Each tone is sharply defined and fully projected, from whisper to full volume.

Here, indeed, is a milestone in the development of a finer drum sound.

The beaded, perfectly round seamless all metal shell is triple chrome plated.

One of the rarer 60s Ludwig aluminium shell snares I’ve seen.

There is superior pop and ring added to this snares sound thanks to the snare mech design.
