USED LUDWIG / 1969 #400 14x5 Supraphonic 60s s/n654564 Ruddick Snare Drum [08]

LM400 Supraphonic Snare Drum from the late 1960s

This is a model manufactured in 1969 of Raddick's eternal masterpiece, the LM400.
Since its debut in 1963, this model has reigned as RADIC's best-selling model for over 50 years, and has been loved by drummers of all kinds as the basic form of metal snare, transcending genres from jazz to rock and classical types.

This snare is serial 654564 and appears to have been manufactured around 1969.
The dial inner mute, a characteristic of the late 60s, is still in place.
The hoop is not original and seems to have been replaced with a 1.6mm steel hoop made by another maker.
The plating is weak, and some of it has almost peeled off, but this one has some pits, but it is still in solid condition and looks beautiful.
All parts are in good working order.
There are some minor scratches, but the condition is good enough for this age without any damage.
The sound is good, and you can enjoy the sweet sound unique to this age.

Size: 14x5 inches
Hoop/Tension: 10-tension 1.6mm pressed hoop
