Serial number: 840847

The LM400 is one of the most recorded snare drums ever made, prized for its versatility, crisp attack, and classic chrome-over-aluminum sound. Equally at home in the studio, on stage, or in a collection, it remains a benchmark snare drum decades after its introduction.

• 14” x 5” seamless chrome-over-aluminum shell
• Blue/Olive Ludwig badge
• Serial number 840847
• 10-lug configuration
• Ludwig P85 strainer
• Internal muffler
• Remo batter and snare-side heads

Condition:

Very Good vintage condition. The drum is fully functional and tunes easily across a wide range. Shell, hardware, badge, strainer, and muffler are all present and working as intended. Chrome shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with age, but the drum presents very well overall
