Ludwig LM404 Acrolite 5x14" Aluminum Snare Black Galaxy

Description

Initially marketed as a student snare during its launch in 1963, the Ludwig Acrolite quickly gained renown through the music world for the instrument's dry, aggressive "crack" and became a favorite among rock drummers. Made from a single aluminum sheet in a matte finish and housed in 2.3mm triple-flanged chrome hoops and bowtie lugs, the Acrolite is a durable piece of equipment with a refined edge. The 5x14 model benefits from a shallower depth with utmost sensitivity and a focused, sharp attack. The 1990s models, sometimes referred to as "Blackrolite," featured a new black sparkle finish that rounded out the original lifespan of the Acrolite series.
All parts are original and functioning. This was a student rental instrument that never saw any heavy use. The original heads are used but have plenty of life left.
You know the drum. Everyone needs at least one in their collection.
