The Ludwig 14x6.5 Chrome Over Brass Snare Drum (LB402B) features a seamless 1.2mm chrome-plated brass shell with 45 degree bearing edges, 10 Imperial lugs, 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops, P88 throw-off, P35 butt plate, 18-strand snare wires, Remo Coated drumhead with Ludwig logo, 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.
