Ludwig 1920s No.12 "Universal" Nickel over Brass 5" x 14" Snare Drum

Ludwig 1920s No.12 "Universal" Nickel over Brass 5" x 14" Snare Drum

According to the 1928 Ludwig catalog "The shell is made of finest grade brass, spun to a perfect round, being rigidly braced by the spun turn-over at outer edges and double bead in the center. Has six regular separate tension key rods and rigid counter hoops."

The shell and hoops are in excellent condition given their age and show very little in terms of wear and pitting in the nickel.

The clips have been replaced with Gibraltar SC-VHTRC Vintage Hoop Tension Rod Clips and the throw off has been replaced with a Gibraltar SC-DLSTO Deluxe Classic Snare Drum Throw Off.

The snare wires are modern Ludwig 18 strand wires and the drum is equipped with and Evans Snare Side 300 reso head and a Remo Coated Ambassador X batter head

Very Good condition
