Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Snare Drums
This is the best deal you will get for the money !! Well constructed, super sensitive, and fat sounding !! Ludwig covered it all with this drum and made it very affordable. I started playing a Rogers Dyna-Sonic 6.5 back in the 70s and still consider it to be the best over all Snare drum ever made. But with that being said, I cant justify any snare costing $1000 or more because the drum heads today are made for certain sounds and you can tune most any snare to sound like a million bucks if you know your instrument. Dynamics plays a major part in how the drum sounds too !! Ludwig knows how to make a classic sounding snare like the Supra Phonic and Black Beauty ! I would put this snare up against anyone of these and see if a blind panel test could pick out any difference in sound. I am not a brand name guy. If a drum can be tuned to the sound in my head that I want, then that is enough for me. Instead of buying a Awesome sounding DW for $5000 or more without the cymbals, I paid $600 for a great used set off craigslist. The money I saved has bought a Rack System, cables, and a light show set up. Ludwig was right on time coming out with this drum. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and affordable snare drum.Read full review

What a great drum. The Chrome looks perfect and it has a good weight to it. The strainer mechanism is tight and smooth. C on the batter head and E on the bottom. I would say unbeatable at this price.

This is a work horse that can be tuned to sound like the more expensive older brother. It stands alone in the category of less expensive snares. If you are looking to add a snare on a budget this is the one. I have gigged with mine at least 20 times now, and have never had a single issue that I have read in other reviews. Several reviews mention the loosening of the tension lugs. I would guess that those guys don't have a clue about how vibration works. Great hardware, and great snare for the $$$.
