This is probably so far the best drum head for vintage Ludwig drums! I also use different Remo heads on my '65 jazz festival snare and this is the best ones. Along using a Remo diplomat snare side head and puresound 24 strand wires with this head, it gives it that classic vintage snare pop sound. Almost like Ringo Starr's snare. Now I got another one for my '64 Supraphonic snare! Go Remo!🥁☮️✌️❤️
