A legendary icon—the vintage, USA-made Ludwig Supraphonic LM402 14x6.5" snare drum from the celebrated Blue & Olive Badge era.

A true classic and an increasingly rare find—especially in this exact configuration. This is the more sought-after 6.5" depth version, the iconic model famously associated with John Bonham and featured on countless legendary rock recordings.

This particular drum comes equipped with an original Ludwig P83 strainer—the most highly desired, simple, and reliable throw-off configuration for a vintage Supraphonic.

Specifications:

• Model: Ludwig Supraphonic LM402
• Dimensions: 14x6.5"
• Era: Blue & Olive Badge Era
• Origin: Vintage USA
• Shell: Aluminum shell
• Strainer: Original Ludwig P83 throw-off
• Status: Iconic "Bonham spec" model

Sound:

A powerful, deep, and highly musical snare drum. It responds beautifully to tuning—ranging from a fat, low vintage rock tone to a sharp, aggressive crack when tuned up high. It is absolutely stellar for rock, blues, fusion, indie, and studio work.

Condition:

The snare is fully functional and preserved in very good condition for its age. It carries a genuine vintage character and vibe that modern reissues simply cannot replicate.

This is an investment-grade instrument that continues to appreciate in value and is becoming increasingly difficult to find in its original 14x6.5" configuration from the Blue & Olive Badge era.
