AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage parade bass drum / marching bass drum – with carrying straps and mallets – ca. 1950–1970
Characterful vintage marching bass drum with an original blue base color, red-white decorative accents, metal tension rods, and complete carrying straps.
The drum has a strong graphic appearance and functions both as a musical instrument and as a decorative object. Because of its size, color scheme, and the belts present, it has a striking presence: beautiful in a music studio, shop interior, hospitality venue, window display, children's room, or as a standout object in an eclectic interior.
Both drum heads are intact. The tension rods and fittings are complete and functional. The drum is supplied with two mallets.
The blue color of the drum is original. The red triangular accents on the edges were applied with paint in the past. This is visible in the finish and is part of the current look of the object.
