For Sale: Very Nice Ludwig 70's Blue Olive Badge Acrolite Last viewed: 2 hours ago

This is one of the nicest, if not the nicest Acrolite that I have run across. It is a Ludwig 5x14 8 lug Acrolite with Blue Olive badge serial number 1326493. Most likely a mid 70's drum (75?), no date stamp inside. These models have very light anodizing on the shell and have a nice satin sheen to them. They sound much like the earlier keystone models as well. This one was 100 percent completely original when I found it and barely needed wiping down. While detailing it, I found a pin prick in the snare side head. I have installed a very nice earlier Remo clear Ambassador snare side head. The rest of the drum is totally original including Ludwig blue ink db-750 medium batter head, Ludwig 20 strand 2517124 wires and original snare cords. The shell has zero dents,dings or scratches. The hardware is exceptionally nice with no issues. Has a blackface 2 hole P85 that is really smooth. Small round knob muffler works perfectly. The pictures don't really do it justice. It is super clean. This would is a great one to add to your collection and snare arsenal. These have a vast tuning range and can be used for most any type of music. Drum has been completely detailed, tuned and ready to put into action. Please pm me or email to [email][email protected][/email] if you have any questions. I will ship quickly. Thanks as always!

And could be everybody's last drum too. What more do you need? This should go super fast. Looks near mint as can be for a 40 year old drum.

Looking for a 70's olive badge 402 players drum.

Not a museum piece, some pitting ok. Just a nice sounding players snare.
