Up for sale is an incredibly rare vintage 1960s Ludwig Super-Sensitive 6.5x14" snare drum. Finding a 1960s Super-Sensitive in the highly desirable 6.5" depth is hard enough, but finding one in this pristine, museum-quality condition is nearly impossible.This drum features the legendary seamless Ludalloy shell and the iconic 1960s Keystone badge. It is an absolute dream for both high-end collectors and studio players looking for the ultimate vintage Ludwig sound.

Key Details & Condition:

  • Shell & Chrome: In amazing, near-mint condition. Unlike most drums from this era, this shell has absolutely NO pitting. The chrome is bright, clean, and mirror-like.
  • Super-Sensitive Mechanism: The dual-adjustment throw-off mechanism is fully intact, original, and works smoothly and perfectly. It holds tension flawlessly.
  • Badge: Original 1960s Ludwig Keystone badge is firmly attached.
  • Hardware: All original lugs, triple-flanged hoops, and tension rods. Everything functions exactly as it should.
  • Internal Muffler: The original baseball bat (or round knob, depending on the exact year) tone control is present and operates perfectly.

Sound:
The 6.5" depth combined with the Super-Sensitive mechanism provides an unmatched tuning range, incredible articulation, and a deep, fat body with hyper-crisp snare response. This is a beautiful, investment-grade vintage snare drum that has been meticulously cared for. It is ready for the studio or the display case
