1978 Ludwig Drumset Part 2: Supraphonic Snare Restoration!
While waiting on other parts for the kit to arrive, I thought it was a great time to get the first of two snare drums cleaned up and ready to go. This one is an LM400 Ludwig Supraphonic, which is a 5x14 chrome-over-aluminum snare. It's an absolutely phenomenal sounding drum but after wearing these same heads for literally decades, it was very tired and in desperate need of a clean up and refresh. With some new snare wires, snare cord, fresh heads and a very thorough cleaning/polishing, the difference in sound (and appearance!) is genuinely stunning.
Please don't bag on my playing too hard, I'm easing bak into drums after not playing regularly for 17 years. Thanks for watching, and Happy Thanksgiving 2022!

Please continue the complete kit restoration videos of this beauty. Check those bearing edges and tighten all those screws, as you replace heads and clean. Thanks… If you need any ideas on bearing edge fixes and or products to use, hit me up in the comments here on this video. I’ve rebuilt/saved some damaged edges… and have come up with very good methods for filler and wood strengthening, with regard to drums. Also wrap fixes are usually pretty easy if not beyond such a thing. Thanks for the video.
That's fricken awesome. This set is cleaning up beautifully! (also, I love the casual Lay's BBQ in the corner for easy snacking. Personal favorite of mine!)

Thanks man, glad to see you on here! I honestly forgot I had those chips down there until I saw them in post...my work computer is directly to the right, so I had them on hand for some VERY long meetings. I love those things, I eat way too many though! 🤣
Thanks for doing this! I have a 1971 LM400 coming next week thats in rough shape but im gonna do my best to clean the old girl up.
