Ludwig B-Stock 6.5x14" Supraphonic Chrome Plated Aluminum Snare Drum, Imperial Lugs

The Ludwig Supraphonic has earned its name as one of the most iconic desert-island drums in history and was a staple of Led Zeppelin's John Bonham, and countless hit recordings through music history. Made in the USA, Ludwig's 6.5x14" Supraphonic Chrome Plated Aluminum Snare Drum features a 14x6.5" chrome-plated, beaded and seamless aluminum shell. The design isn't just a display of its durability but is also a key factor in its production of a loud and crisp transient attack with the perfect balance of that crack you want from a snare, and resonant tone.

What sets this Ludwig 6.5x14" Supraphonic chrome plated aluminum snare drum apart is the freedom of choice it offers players through its unique versatility. This drum's chrome over aluminum configuration offers a higher response to playing, being dampened, and responsiveness to the setting it's played in. All of these factors can have a major impact on its sound, which allows users to make a major statement while playing it.

Affectionately known as "The Hit-Maker," the Supraphonic's legacy is backed by a proven track record of success. Dig into the specifics, and you'll find a 1.7mm Seamless Aluminum Shell, complemented by 10 Imperial lugs, a 2.3mm steel triple flanged hoops, a P85C snare throw, and a P35C butt plate. 

In the world of percussion, the Ludwig Supraphonic LM402 is synonymous with versatility, expression and excellent performance, while acting as a nod to the drumming legends of the past. This drum ensures you get precisely the sound you need, precisely when you need it. With its B-stock designation, this Supraphonic is in immaculate condition and was purchased as a B-stock drum from the manufacturer noting that there may be minor blemishes on the inside of the shell.
