This Ludwig Acrolite L-404 5x14" aluminum snare drum, likely from the 1980s based on its rounded Blue/Olive badge, is in very good condition with some light scratching and dirt on the shell. It has been well-maintained, showing only minor playwear. Acrolite snares are known for their bright, crisp attack and dry, focused tone, making them a favorite among drummers across various genres. Originally designed as a student model, the Acrolite became a studio and live staple due to its balanced sound and lightweight aluminum shell.
