Beautiful and exceptionally rare Ludwig Aged Exotic Carpathian Elm 14” × 6.5” snare drum (LS403XXCE). One of only 40 produced for North America. The drum includes its original Ludwig padded snare drum case/bag.

This is one of Ludwig’s limited-edition exotic-wood snares, featuring a stunning Carpathian Elm outer veneer with incredible natural figuring and depth. The wood grain on this particular drum is especially striking.

Near-mint / like-new condition.

The drum appears to have been unused or very lightly handled and is exceptionally clean. I see no scratches, dents, or significant signs of use on the shell or hardware. The chrome hardware is bright and clean.
