Ludwig

collapse expand iconDescription

Ludwig's wood snares have remained popular throughout the company's nearly 100-year history, and were the drums that helped establish the fat backbeat and deep grooves of pop and R&B music in the 1970s and '80s. The Classic Maple all-maple shell features the clarity and warmth players have come to expect from maple drums, plus the projection and musicality that has maintained Ludwig's reputation for snare drum innovation and excellence.

Available in a wide selection of sounds, sizes and styles, from piccolo, standard and deep models. From lacquer, exotic and wrapped finishes, Ludwig Classic Maple snares are the new Classics of today.

    I bought this snare along with the matching white marine pearl kit. The classic maple snare has great projection and a rich tone. The build quality is flawless and frankly with our national trade deficit, I'm very glad it's made in the USA.
