1964 Ludwig 'Pioneer' 14x5"

in black lacquer with nickel over brass hardware

6 lug design

3-ply shell - maple (outer) / poplar / mahogany (inner)

The original lacquer finish is in great shape - just enough crazing but with minimal aging. The nickel hardware has also cleaned up great.

Comes with original nickel over brass hardware including P83 strainer, butt end and the very rare red felt ‘baseball bat’ internal muffler.

The edges on this drum are in remarkable shape.

These 60’s 6 lug Pioneer shells naturally tune quite fat, but this one is also very crisp and warm too and tunes up and down great. These drums are some of the best kept secret amongst some of the top session players so be sure to grab this if you want to expand your collection!

Stripped, cleaned and polished in my workshop. Fitted with new Remo Vintage Ambassador and Ambassador snare side heads and Puresound Custom Pro wires.
