I recently came upon a pre-serial brass super Ludwig 14x5" in phenomenal shape for $45. Didn't know exactly what it was beyond something in the vein of a supra til I had it in my hands and felt the weight, then a little detective work helped me to the right conclusion. As if simply holding such...

Hi all I am new to the forum. I am curious to find where an old black beauty has wound up after 10 years and if there has been any new history that has been added. I've always loved vintage gear and hearing the history behind an instrument. The drum was bought new in 1976/77 by Tommy Davitt (a...
