Apr 4 1968 Ludwig Acrolite 14x5”

Keystone badge, serial number: 611508.

Date stamped: Apr 4 1968

A drum that requires no introduction.

All original P83 strainer, butt end, tension rods and hoops. The internal dampener is era correct but I suspect a baseball bat dampener had been fitted at some point as the hole is larger than required for the round thumb screw fitted.

This is a lovely example of a wonderful drum. There is only minor aging, scratching and scuffs. See photos for condition.

These 60s model Acrolites are proving more and more difficult to come by, especially in this condition.

Stripped, cleaned and polished in my workshop July 2025.

Fitted with brand new Remo Vintage Ambassador Coated and Ambassador snare side heads, with brand new Puresound Custom Pro Steel wires.
