The new Ludwig 6.5" x 14" Raw Brass Snare Drum


Some specs
This Raw Brass snare drum also features the new Ludwig P88 strainer which uses a ball bearing and is ratcheted, for precise and incremental tuning of the snare wires. The strainer also has a lengthened lever, as you can see in the photos we added.

This drum has a 1.2mm Seamless Brass Shell, 2.3mm Steel Triple Flange Hoops, the P-88 Throw Off/Butt Plate and the Ludwig Weather Master Drumheads.

More info
Inspiration for the Ludwig Raw Brass Snare Drums are the well known Black Beauty snare drums. The shells are identical to the Black Beauty, prior to finishing. No patinas or lacquers are applied and each shell is left to age on its own. Hence, no two drums will look alike. Ludwig Raw Brass Snares have a rich set of overtones. And that is something you can adjust to your taste.

In the US it goes for $699.00, in Europe the price will be around €1,100.
