probably 12x15's. that strainer is a classic strainer. a p87 to be exact. rims can be found for these if needed. unless youre just trying to make them pristine, they will probably sound fine with the rims as they are,unless they are really bent.

Here's a top shot. As you can see, the rim's pretty bent.

I stopped by and looked at the drums again. Both have the proper throw-offs and gut snare wires. One has a Ludwig Silver Dot head, which I imagine is original. He is asking $100 for the pair. Is this a good price?

My marching unit has four of these Blue/Olive badge 15x12s, and properly set up, they can sound great, but they are HEAVY! These were common issue in many military bands. They have a tendancy to sound a little tinny if you're used to playing a wood shell marching snare, but with the right heads and the snares properly tensioned, you can get a nice throaty sound out of them if you don't over-tension the batter. Although you'll have to straighten or replace the bent hoops, you're still getting two fine drums for $100.

You have to keep in mind that most marchers don`t fetch a lot of money in resale...Ludwig marching snares are common...I would say that $100 for both is too bad of a deal...Try to get them cheaper of course...You will probably sink another $100 or so into them for the parts you need...

I have a Ludwig 15" top hoop if you get them and are interested in it...I have a bottom hoop as well but someone altered the slot for the wires...I can provide pics...
