Mine is the Supraphonic 402 Today and every other day.
Have either of you had any experience with the LM400? I bough one on a whim, but I regret not getting the 402.LM402 all day, every day!
Cool song and drum. Good snare recording too.Ironically enough, my favorite snare today or any day is one that I seldom use. 1941 Ludwig & Ludwig 7X14. Ol' Whitey as I like to call it. When my gigging and recording days are over, and I have a kit set up in the living room for my daily enjoyment, it'll be this one that's on the stand.
The reason I don't use it all the time is that the hardware simply doesn't stand up to everyday use in a contemporary environment. The throw off loosens on me after a song and the stick chopper hoops are deadly on drum sticks. I could work around those without fouling up the drum, but I have a couple of modern drums that keep me happy enough for all my live work and most of my recording.

And here's a link to a recording from probably 15 years ago that features this drum:
Gotta love that "drum rug!"A close second would be my 1954 Leedy Ludwig.
