Early 1970s Ludwig Acrolite 14x5"

Blue & Olive badge

Serial number: #980547

This is a drum that needs no introduction. Everyone should have one!

This one has all original hardware including P85 black face strainer, butt end, internal dampener, tension rods and hoops.

There is pitting on the hardware, minor scuffs, scratches and aging across the drum, as well as old rusting marks on the hoops.

A previous owner has used harsher way of cleaning and this has marked the hardware.

See photos for condition.

Freshly stripped, cleaned and polished in my workshop November 2024.

Fitted with new old stock Ludwig Coated Medium batter and brand new Remo Ambassador Hazy with brand new Puresound Custom Pro Steel wires.
