What We Think

For decades, Ludwig snare drums have been the go-to for studio and touring professionals alike. With snare drums priced in multiple categories, it's hard to know where to start. Ludwig recently introduced a new snare drum line, Supralite, which comes in at an entry-level price without sacrificing quality of sound. This drum features a 1.5mm chromed-steel shell and vintage-style tube lugs. The beaded steel shell delivers a nice crisp note and full-bodied tone throughout a wide range of tunings and the 2.3mm flanged help keep the drum focused while allowing it to breathe. Experience the new Ludwig Supralite snare today.

Manufacturer's Description from Ludwig

A truly-personlized instrument, Carl's "Venus" is crafted for volume and intricate clarity. Its beaded-brass 3.7"x14" shell is lacquered green for a stunning look, with brass-plated separate-tension tube lugs and die-cast hoops to offer visual contrast. More than a "Power-Piccolo", each model is hand-signed by this drumming great.

About Manufacturer

Touted as “the most famous name on drums,” Ludwig stands today as one of the most legendary and revered American drum manufacturers of all time. Founded in 1909 under the name Ludwig & Ludwig, the company has existed under a number of different owners and names, with the Ludwig brand operating today as a subsidiary of Conn-Selmer. Throughout almost 110 years of change, one thing has remained constant: Ludwig’s dedication to building high-quality drums with that signature Ludwig tone. Over the years, Ludwig drums have laid down solid backbeats and infectious grooves at the hands of drummers like John Densmore, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, and of course, Ringo Starr. Their iconic kits from the 60s and 70s remain highly coveted by collectors and players alike, but their new offerings continue to uphold the legendary Ludwig name just the same.
