For your kind consideration is this beautiful example of an early 5x14 Ludwig Acrolite from the mid 60s with baseball bat muffler and white felt. There are no extra holes or modifications of any kind, and it's in overall wonderful cosmetic condition with a bit of normal play wear. The keystone badge is nice and tight, serial # 978XX. Besides the changed heads, it's all original including the tension rods/washers and wires. Best of all, it is still wearing its original hoops, chrome over brass on the bottom and chrome over steel on the top. No serious drummer's or studio's snare drum arsenal is complete without a trusty vintage Acrolite, and this one sounds particularly great. This drum would easily and equally be at home amongst the finest of stages, studios, or collections. Enjoy!
