| |
| Comments: |
The Ludwig Jazz Festival model was originally called the Barrett Deems model when he endorsed Ludwig Drums. In 1960, the model name was changed to the Jazz Festival. Ringo Starr played a Jazz Festival in his early days with the Beatles. That drum was wrapped in a Black Oyster Pearl. Thus any drums wrapped in that finish have become highly collectible. The drum shown is wrapped in Silver Sparkle, and although not as desirable, is still a fine drum.

| Comments: |
Buddy Rich moved back and forth between drum companies depending on his mood and situation. He played Rogers, Ludwig, and Slingerland primarily. This drum came in chrome or nickel plated. This one is nickel plated. It's not as sought after by collectors as the chrome model. Yet it's a sweet sounding instrument nevertheless.

| Comments: |
The
Ludwig 402 Snare drum is basically a Supraphonic
400 "on steroids".
This drum also has the Super Sensitive Snare mechanism
rather than the standard P-83 strainer.
This
is an early model and, interestingly enough, the
shell is made of metal alloy and not brass

| Comments: |
The
Ludwig Supraphonic Snare Drum is one of most widely
recorded drums in history.
The
drum originally came with a brass shell, as this
one has, but in the early 60's, the company began
making them with whatever metal was plentiful at
the time.

| Comments: |
This
drum is somewhat of an anomaly. The New classic
drum is uusually featured with 16 small classic
lugs.
This
model, however, has the classic " bow tie"
lug that is associated with the Buddy Rich Super
Classic Snare Drum.
I've
never seen another one like it, although I'm sure
there are others.

Buddy
Rich has been associated with numerous drum companies
throughout his illustrious career.
During
the late 50's and early 60's, Buddy played Ludwig
drums and this snare drum was named after him.
This
particular model has the transition badge which
was only placed on drums that were manufactured
in 1959/60.

An
early 60's Ludwig Super Sensitive with a heavy
brass shell, triple flanged hoops, and a die cast throw off lever.
The
original Ludwig Super Sensitive had been in production
from 1929 to 1935. That particular model had an
additional set of internal snares which pressed
against the batter head.
When
the drum was re-introduced in the 60's, the internal
snares were dropped.

Metal Alloy Shell, Pioneer Snare Strainer |
| |
| Comments: |
The
Ludwig catalog describes this drum as “
a new solo soprano percussion voice ideal for
today's intricate, rhythmic patterns.”
The 3 x 13 shell produces the crisp sound demanded
by so many of today's top percussion artists.

| Comments: |
This
drum was in production from 1960 to 1970. It was
the drum of choice for players who didn't want
to use the 5 x 14 or the deeper 6 ½ x 14.
Some
say this particular drum has limited use, although
I haven't found that to be the case.

Barrett Deems Model Snare Drum |

|
| Comments: |
Barrett
Deems was a very well known drummer from Chicago.
He billed himself as the “World's Fastest
Drummer.” He played with various musicians,
most notably Louis Armstrong.
In
1960, Ludwig changed the name of this model
to the Jazz Festival. A few years later a certain
drummer by the name of Ringo Starr bought one
of these drums to go with his Black Oyster Pearl
kit. The rest, as they say, is history.
