being that i just dropped some coin on a LB417 14x6 1/2 Black Beauty, i had no intensions of buying anything else at all. that lasted till i stopped by the local Guitar Center for some Remo Ambassadors for the BB that had'nt arived yet. on my way out of the drum department i noticed something chrome with imperial lugs and a blue/olive badge. its a used LM402. this is a blue/olive reissue i'm guessing o couple/few years old. the previous owner had just fitted the drum with Puresound 20 strand blasters and a new remo amb snare side. i could'nt pass, $250 out the door. i got it home, wiped the finger prints off with a microfiber and the drum is in mint condition, not a scratch. i put a coated Emporer batter on it, and it sounds incredible. this is the snare i should have bought 20 years ago. as of this post, i have my BB LB417 and its killer too, i'm just not sure which i like better.
on the LM402, i have the bottom head fairly cranked up, the batter is just above medium, but not real tight, still has a nice feel/give to it. i cant get over how crisp and responsive this drum is. playing rolls of center the drum realy sings with a pleasing ringy overtone. this is the best $250 i have ever spent on anything drum related.
