{"title":"Ludwig Supraphonic","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ludwig Supraphonic has been on all your favourite records, and it's the snare I try to always keep in stock. Every one I list is a genuine vintage drum that I've sourced myself, mostly in the US.

The early 60s drums wear the Keystone badge, which is the one to hunt down if you want that 60s flavour. The pointed blue\/olive badge is the 70s model. The COB is the rare, heavier chrome over brass version, the Super Sensitive has the parallel action throw-off, and the 14x6.5 LM402 is the model Bonham famously played.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold drums stay on this page as a record of what's come through.
