For your consideration is a Ludwig LM404 Black Galaxy Acrolite 5" x 14" snare drum package in very good condition (serial number 6297035). This listing also features a rolling luggage style case, a Ludwig extended height snare stand, a Ludwig topper practice pad, and a pair of our own Midbell 2B sticks.

Based on our research, this design was produced between roughly 1994 to the mid 2000's, but serial number data is inconsistent and does not provide an exact year of production.

Often referred to as the “Blackrolite,” this American-made Ludwig snare features a seamless aluminum shell with a durable Black Galaxy finish, eight classic bow-tie lugs, an internal tone control muffler with exterior adjustment knob, and a Ludwig P85-style throw-off. Its crisp response, dry aluminum-shell character, and wide tuning range have made the Acrolite a longtime favorite among students and experienced players alike.

This complete student package includes:

Ludwig LM404 Black Galaxy Acrolite snare drum

Ludwig Snare stand

Ludwig Rolling carrying case with telescoping luggage style handle

Ludwig Practice-pad topper

Pair of 2B Midbell drumsticks

The drum and included accessories show normal cosmetic wear consistent with prior use, including light marks and scuffs, but the package remains in very good overall condition. It has gone through our shop, where it was inspected and tested, and it is ready for its next player.

This is a particularly nice option for a beginning percussionist, advancing student, or any drummer / percussionist looking for the versatile sound of a Ludwig Acrolite in a convenient, ready-to-use package.

Thank you for your consideration!
