Here it is, the 'Mac-Daddy' of all snare drums... a pre-serial COB 5" x 14" Supraphonic. More rightly called; Super Ludwig. It's in 9/10 condition. I'm not going to review the sound of this thing because it's been done to death. Suffice it to say, it is one of the best sounding snare drums ever made.
Enjoy,
John

Purdie, Is that the Supra that came with your new (old) kit you picked up?
What a beauty!

Beautiful!!
Some day I will score one, probably not COB but ya never know. I was the first to call on a CL add last summer in Chicago that might have had a supra it was hard to tell in the picture and all the female seller knew was it was her dads and it was a Ludwig. Also included were chrome wrap drums including a 10 lug virgion bass, two concert toms on a stand and a floor tom. All Atlas stands and five big cymbals plus the mystery snare that some on the formn thought could be a supra. All for 150.00. Even though I was the first to call, she sold it before I could get there. Talk about bummed out, It took a while to get over it. It still bugs me.
I am happy for you and your great score. Have fun playing those drums!
Thank you,
Jeff C
He shoots, HE SCORES!
Damn, thats a sweet drum! Congrats John.
It's been some years since I even played one of these. Man, what a mighty snare drum it is. From buzz rolls to all out, it just sings! Amazing tone.
This one be a 'keeper' for sure.
