A highly sought-after L-402 from the '70s?in excellent condition?has just arrived!

Based on its serial number, this LM402?which dates back to the same era as those legendary drummers?is believed to have been manufactured in the late 1970s.

The LM402 was beloved by countless rock legends. Among them, this particular drum is a popular model from the 1970s gB/Oh (Blue Olive) badge era. It is believed to be the final-generation specification, featuring the angular Blue Olive badge.

The top hoop is a third-party steel hoop, measuring approximately 2.1 mm. Itfs believed to have been replaced with a 2.3 mm-class hoop at a later date, a modification that may have been done to more actively bring out the LM402fs sound. This specification should be particularly appealing to players seeking a gritty, powerful sound.

The bottom hoop is believed to be a contemporary 1.8 mm hoop and is likely an original part. Based on its feel and the condition of the pits, it appears to be from that era.

While there are some pits visible across the entire shell, itfs in good condition for an instrument believed to have been made in the late 1970s. The inner mute is also in good condition.
The snare wire is not the stock type but a Gretsch 42-strand model! This is another bold and excellent choice; the snare sound pairs perfectly with the powerful overall tone.
There are some markings made with a marker inside the shell, but they do not affect the performance or sound.

The LM402 from the 1970s is often spoken of as something special even when compared to 402s from other eras, and itfs said that many examples from this period possess a rich, full-bodied sound and a sense of power. Itfs believed that the reason so many professional drummers seek out LM402s from this era is because theyfre drawn to the drumfs ability to consistently produce a backbeat with such a strong presence.

The vintage LM402 has been beloved by drummers around the world for many years. Please take this opportunity to try it out.
