Condition Description: G - good condition with no extra holes or modifications. Only issue is strainer was pushed in a little at some point, hardly visible from interior but exterior wrap shows some damage that is not visible when strainer is installed. See pics. Otherwise very clean with clean shell , smooth bearing edges, tight re-rings, and very shiny all original nickel hardware. Outfitted with new heads and newer Ludwig script stamped snare wires, sounds great
