“It's got so much vibe and is the exact sort of vintage snare for those tuned low, vintage drum sounds.”Jared, in the listing
This Vintage beaut is from between 1952- 1954, a Leedy&Ludwig Utility snare. It's got so much vibe and is the exact sort of vintage snare for those tuned low, vintage drum sounds.
Things I like about this drum are the depth, that there's only 6 Lugs, the single flange hoops and the aged finish.
