Ludwig 14x5 Chrome Over Brass Snare Drum

The 14x5 Ludwig Chrome Over Brass Snare Drum (LB400B) features a seamless beaded 1.2mm chrome plated brass shell with flanged 45-degree bearing edges, 10 double-ended Imperial lugs, 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops, P88AC throw-off, P35P butt plate, 18-strand Ludwig snare wires, Ludwig Coated Weather Master batter drumhead, Ludwig Clear Weather Master snare side drumhead, smooth chrome finish, chrome hardware, and Ludwig Keystone badge.

Ludwig’s Chrome Over Brass snare drum, introduced in 1960 as the Super Ludwig, was the predecessor to the Supraphonic. The brass alloy coupled with a chrome plating offers the musical undertones favored of brass with just the right touch of added focus and treble.

Though short lived from its original release, the COB would go on to become one of the most sought after and in demand drums that would lead to its re-release in the 90's.
