1960's Ludwig Black Oyster Pearl Snare drum!
Serialized at 149479 this drum was made in the spring
of 1965
It sure does not look it!
Black Oyster was in and here is one fine example!
The drum is the 4" x14" Downbeat model and
this combined
with its finish, color and condition makes this
drum
a very uncommon find
The drum is in phenominal condition with only some
light scratches on the original hoops, All tension rods washers and inserts
are also original.
The drum also includes the original white felt
muffler
The throw off works smooth and secure as does the
butt end.
There is some light plate loss around some of the
string holes in the drop plate
The "DownBeat" Model lugs look great with only
a few sporadic pitsIn all the drum is 100% original except for new heads
and wires.
Th color is Vibrant and the finish is very glossy and
reflective showing very little elemental exposure
