Supraphonic Aluminium Shell with Tube Lugs and Brass-Finished Hardware
The Ludwig L405TBM Supraphonic is a 14" × 6.5" snare drum built around a 1.7 mm (0.067") Aluminium shell. Its Midnight Blue Metallic shell finish is contrasted by Brass-finished hardware, giving the drum a distinctive two-tone appearance without straying from the familiar Supraphonic format.
Ten Tube Lugs provide the tuning points, while 2.3 mm (0.091") Steel triple-flanged hoops frame the batter and snare sides. The shell uses a 45° bearing edge and a single air vent, keeping the construction straightforward and focused. Snare engagement is handled by a P88AC throw-off paired with a P35P butt plate.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this snare drum is a strong option for drummers who want the Supraphonic Aluminium shell format with Tube Lugs, substantial Steel hoops and the visual contrast of Midnight Blue Metallic with Brass hardware.
