Ludwig Supraphonic Snare Drum 14x6.5 w/Tube Lugs B-Stock

Ludwig Supraphonic 14x6.5 Snare Drum – Legendary Chrome Aluminum Shell with Tube Lugs

The Ludwig Supraphonic stands as one of the most iconic snare drums in recording history, favored by John Bonham and countless studio and stage professionals. Built with a chrome-plated, seamless 1.7mm beaded aluminum shell, this 14x6.5 drum delivers a bright, crisp attack paired with full resonant tone and cutting snare crack. The responsive shell handles delicate brush articulation and punches through amplified setups with equal ease, making it a versatile choice for any musical setting. Constructed in the USA, the Supraphonic combines time-tested design with premium hardware. The drum features elegant tube lugs, 2.3mm flanged hoops for reliable head seating, and a P88AC Throw Off strainer for smooth snare engagement. Every component works together to produce the balanced, articulate tone that has defined professional drumming for decades. This B-stock unit carries minor cosmetic imperfections such as plating marks, light scratches, or handling wear, but the shell is round, the strainer engages smoothly, and all tension rods thread straight. Structural integrity is guaranteed; cosmetic blemishes are not covered under warranty.
