2 of 2 vintage Ludwig LM400 Supraphonic 14” x 5” snare drums in my collection from the Blue & Olive badge era in good overall condition. Badge number 1123754

Few drums have influenced recorded music as much as the Ludwig Supraphonic. Built around Ludwig’s seamless chrome-plated Ludalloy shell, the LM400 has become one of the most recorded snare drums in history thanks to its incredible versatility, sensitivity, and unmistakable crack.

Whether tuned low for warm, fat backbeats or cranked up for articulate rimshots and ghost notes, the Supraphonic remains equally at home in the studio and on stage.
