Ludwig Supraphonic Chrome Over Brass Snare Drum – 14x6.5 with Tube Lugs

The Ludwig LB402BT Supraphonic represents a faithful reissue of the iconic 1959–61 Brass 400 model, revived by popular demand to deliver that legendary "Super Ludwig" tone and construction. Built with a 1.2mm thick seamless brass shell finished in chrome plating, this snare drum combines vintage heritage with reliable modern performance. The classic configuration includes 10 tube lugs, triple-flanged hoops, and a P88AC throw-off mechanism for responsive snare action and controlled articulation across all dynamic ranges.

Ideal for studio work, live performance, and players who value authentic Ludwig craftsmanship, this 14x6.5 snare responds with bright, cutting projection and a balanced crack that cuts through a mix. The chrome-over-brass construction delivers the warmth and character that made the original Supraphonic a studio standard.
