This 1970s Ludwig Acrolite snare drum is a classic, sought-after model known for its dry, articulate tone and iconic brushed aluminum finish. Featuring the original **Blue & Olive badge**, this 5"x14" snare is a great example of the USA-made student/professional crossover drums that have become go-to tools in studios and on stage for decades.
This drum is in **good condition**, with all original hardware intact **except for the heads and snare wires**, which have been replaced. The internal muffler works well, and the **bearing edges are clean and true**, ensuring great tuning stability and crisp sensitivity. Some cosmetic wear is present on the shell and hardware, consistent with its age, but nothing that affects functionality.
