Ludwig LS9081Q 5.5x14inch Legacy Maple Jazz Fest Snare Drum, Vintage Black Oyster

For almost 110 years, Ludwig have been a world leader in the manufacture of drums and percussion products, becoming a household name in on Feb 9th, 1964 when 73 million people watched the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show, with the Ludwig logo clearly visible of the front of Ringo Starr's bass drum. The company's sales skyrocketed as a result, and for the next 20 years, Ludwig became the biggest name in drums in the USA. Their commitment to the highest quality standards is evident in everything they make.

First introduced to the market in the 1950s as the Buddy Rich Model Snare Drum, the Jazzfest took on its first form in the early 1960s as a 5.5" depth snare. This version of the Jazzfest would come to join the iconic line-up of tracks that Ludwig snares drums dominate. It features a 3-ply Legacy shell, vintage ‘64 snare bed, 8 twin lugs, 3-step baseball bat tone-control and a white “Reso-Coat” interior.
