For your supreme viewing delight is this extraordinarily stunning vintage Ludwig 5x14 8 lug Engraved DeLuxe Black Beauty snare drum from the early 1920s. It's in beautiful collector's condition.

This heavy two-piece black nickel over brass shell with welded back bearing edges features the DeLuxe scroll engraving that first appeared in the early 1920s. It's 100% original including the calf heads and wires, and it tunes up like an absolute champ. There are no extra holes or modifications of any kind.

This drum is a personal piece from the Drugan's Drums Family Vault, and we have personally owned and cherished it for over 12 years. We've had the good fortune of being able to handle a number of these throughout the past 3 decades and this is by far one of the absolute best museum quality examples we've encountered. 

This 102+ year old marvel is truly a stunning piece of drum history that would equally be at home amongst the very finest of collections, studios, and stages. Enjoy!
