Nickel over Brass shell with 8 lugs
Engraved hoops with ‘Leedy Elkhart, Ind.’ and ‘Broadway Standard’.
Nickel plated hardware including original double flange brass hoops.
This is a wonderful drum. I have never seen another in this size.
The drum has factory soldered-back bearing edges and crimped snare beds.
The lugs on this drum are aluminium so show their age more than if they were brass.
There is some minor scratching on the shell but nothing you wouldn’t expect for a drum that is nearly 100 years old. Minimal aging.
Stripped, cleaned and polished July 2025.
Fitted with brand new Remo Coated Ambassador and Ambassador Hazy heads with brand new Puresound wires.
