Vintage 1966 Ludwig Pioneer 6 lug snare drum. Very good condition.

Red sparkle wrap is in excellent condition, save for a couple very small scratches.

Nickel plated hardware. P83 strainer works well, but arm is slightly bent. See last two photos.

Serial # 270855 places this from 1966.

Baseball bat muffler is present and accounted for and works great.

Original white painted interior is extremely clean.

Original reso head (has a couple dimples) and original snare wires (a couple slightly bent). Please review photos.

Over-all, looks to be original, including tension rods, except batter head.

Snare stand NOT included, but available in a separate sale.
