Ludwig Supraphonic

Percussion · United States

Ludwig Acrolite
Aluminum-shell snare drum
Percussion · United States
Introduced in 1963, the Ludwig Acrolite is built on a 1.6mm seamless aluminum shell with 45-degree bearing edges, triple-flanged steel hoops, and a P88 throw-off, giving a dry, cracking tone that made the student-priced drum a professional favorite.

Ludwig Supraphonic LM-402
The deep Supraphonic
Percussion · United States
The LM-402 is the LM-400 at 6.5" deep — fatter, a little darker, and the choice when a snare has to carry a track rather than sit inside it. Drummers argue about the pair the way guitarists argue about pickup positions.

Ludwig Supraphonic LM-400
The 14×5 aluminium snare on more records than any other drum
Percussion · United States
The LM-400 is the 5" Supraphonic: a seamless spun aluminium shell Ludwig called Ludalloy, with the P-85 throw-off. It is bright, cuts through anything, and is close to the default snare sound of recorded music since 1963. The LM-402 is the same drum an inch and a half deeper.

Sonor Kompressor
Seamless metal snares in three alloys
Percussion
The Kompressor line is a set of seamless spun shells — aluminium, brass, and steel — in the same sizes, which makes it one of the cleanest ways to hear what a snare shell's metal actually does.
