They made theses drums due to the popularity of Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz) on "I Love Lucy". This drum has a beautiful, rich, cutting sound, more like a timbale or a snare than a conga. There are six original lugs and a Remo head present. There are two holes in the si...de where an old strap (not included) use to be tied.
Here's your chance to own an authentic piece of Ludwig history! This is what eBay's all about! This drum would make an awesome addition to any percussion setup or drum set or collection, and would make a great gift, too! The pictures above show the condition of the actual drum you will receive, as I don't use stock photography. I have no other accessories, manuals or extras that are not pictured.
This drum is in very good condition, but does show some expected wear consistent with age. I think it may have been painted, as the green color seems like it was added, especially since there's some on the Ludwig logo medallion. There's a lighter spot on the bottom where the paint is worn off. It feels smooth there, like it's worn but not damaged. There are some rough spots inside the drum, see photo #8.
Basically, it looks as it does in the photos…
