It's hard to rival the quality of a Ludwig metal snare drum, and the addition of brass to their Heirloom series further cements their place near the top of drum making. This 5.5x14 version is constructed with a thin 1mm brass shell that, when tuned to a medim-high tension, sings with a full-bodied fundamental note and classic crack. This snare has a bit more sensitivity than its 7x14 cousin, making it well-suited for genres ranging from classic rock to jazz to funk and R&B. 

The latest addition to the Heirloom Series snare drum line. Honoring a 100+ year prestige of Ludwig snare drum craftsmanship, the Heirloom Brass performs with the sonic qualities of brass we’ve come to enjoy with heightened volume and focus. The 1mm shell also provides a powerfully crisp attack that finds its own space in any mix or situation. It features a laser-etched Heirloom band, flat imperial lugs, silver keystone badge, and Ludwig’s new P88 throw-off.

Ludwig Heirloom Brass Snare Drum Features:

• 1mm Brass Shell
