Originally introduced in 1963 as a student drum, the Ludwig Acrolite quickly became the choice of pro players in need of dry, cracking snare tone. This drum is date stamped on the inside shell as NOV 29, 1967The Serial Number is 519921It was used by a near by school district, and has some minor scratches, etc. Please look at the pictures.The snare strainer adjustment screw head is bent a bit, but still functions. The snare strainer on/off arm is also bent, and still functions. We kept these parts on as they are the original, but if I were to use this drum myself, I would replace it with a new strainer.New Heads & Snare Wires: Evans G1 Coated 14″ Drum Head (B14G1) Evans Clear 300 Snare Side 14″ Drum Head (S14H30) PureSound Blaster Series Snare Wire 20 Strand 14 Inch (B1420)
