About This Listing

This snare drum was originally a Supersensitive model that was converted into a Supraphonic model. The shell has some engraving from a prior owner, has some extra holes, and is missing the muffler. This drum was completely disassembled, cleaned, and lubricated before final assembly. Features newer Ludwig Acrolite "bow tie" lugs, a newer Ludwig strainer, new Ludwig 2.3mm hoops, tension rods, and Ludwig & Remo heads. This drum is the REAL DEAL, has lots of character, and sounds great!
