Supraphonic, Performance-proven. The sound that fueled the most hit recordings in history, Ludwig Supraphonic is the snare choice of the pros. The USA-made chrome-plated, seamless, beaded aluminum shell produces a bright, crisp attack with the perfect balance of full resonant tone and snare crack. From Jazz to Metal, Ludwig's Supraphonic 400s provide the perfect sound in the studio or on the stage.With your choice of Imperial or Tube Lugs, Smooth or Hammered Shells, the Supraphonic will give you what you need when you need it.

Triple-flange Hoops:
A lot livelier than their die-cast counterparts. These hoops help give the drum a more vibrant, open sound that gives it plenty of power when struck dead center and tons of articulation for ghost notes. Though they may not be as heavy as die-cast hoops, they certainly still deliver a sharp rim shot, crystal clear side stick, and reliable tuning.

Imperial Style Lugs:
The Imperial lugs give this drum a classy look while not adding additional weight to the shell, allowing it to resonate freely.

P-85 Strainer:
The P-85 is the classic Ludwig throw-off everyone has come to know and love. Since it’s introduction in mid 60’s this throw-off has become the yardstick to which all other throw offs are measured. This thing is easily adjustable and provides precise and accurate snare tension. The cast butt-plate is super reliable and provides solid playability.

1.7mm Seamless Aluminum Shell
2.3mm Steel Triple Flanged Hoops
P85AC Throw Off
P35AC Butt Plate

The Classic. The '57 Chevy of drums

My "go to" snare for years. I own a couple. Brass as well as chrome plated aluminum. These are classics. I t does not take much work to make these sound great and you have to work hard to make them sound bad. They also have a great feel to them. My only gripe is the strainer has been made cheaper over the years. But replacement strainers are cheap, so I keep one on hand as a spare. Dont drop the drum, especially on the strainer, or its goodbye strainer and a dented shell. Be good to this drum and it will outlast you.

Finally got one after years of waiting. I don't know if they are still putting the rubber gaskets under the lugs- but if your's has them, take them off. They deaden the sound. Good idea to put a fatter head on the batter side such as a Emperor, but not an unsealed double ply like the Pinstripe. It takes a few minutes to dial in the sound, and there are some great youtube videos that are a big help.
