The Ludwig 1920s 26”x11” Bass Drum in Black is a stunning relic from the golden age of American drum craftsmanship, exuding all the vintage character that made Ludwig a household name among early percussionists. Its wooden hoops and single-tension rods recall an era when simplicity and tone ruled the stage, while the original 1920s-style metal Ludwig logo anchors its authenticity. The drum’s original heads remain intact but torn and aged from time, leaving it unplayable in its current state — yet its shell is still structurally sound, a testament to Ludwig’s impeccable construction from nearly a century ago.

Scuffs and scrapes pepper the black shell, not as blemishes but as proud marks of a life well-lived in rhythm. With fresh heads, this drum would once again unleash the deep, booming resonance that defined early jazz and marching ensembles. Whether displayed as a collector’s centerpiece or restored for performance, this 26”x11” beauty radiates the unmistakable aura of vintage Ludwig heritage — and it’s available now at Haggerty’s Music.
