Product Code: DSN37A rare 1952 Leedy & Ludwig "New Era" snare drum in a beautiful white marine pearl wrap. Leedy & Ludwig branded drums are of the highest quality construction and combine the best of the Leedy and Ludwig brands. This snare drum is in all original condition except for the snare wires and the heads. The nickel-plated hardware and solid brass "stick chopper" counter hoops are in excellent condition. There is no pitting on any of the hardware. There is a small amount of plating wear on the throw-off and butt plate. The interior is painted white with a clear “5210” (October 1952) date stamp. As described in the 1952 Leedy & Ludwig catalog (see image), these drums have a sharp, crisp tone. It is a perfect addition to any mid-century drum collection, as well as a very playable, sturdy drum. Perfect for the be-bop music popular during the 1950's.
