Sound Pure's Take

The Copper Phonic snares utilize the same copper that is used in their legendary timpani drums which they have been building for over 100 years and the results are nothing short of incredible. This 5x14 Copper Phonic Patina snare drum features a lightly lacquered and patina finish over a raw 1.2mm copper shell. The seamless shell delivers a focused and crisp tone but with a nice dryness, you won't find in any of the Ludwig metal snare drum offerings

Just like the legendary Black Beauty, engineers and professionals are reaching for the Copper Phonic and its signature sound. Whether you were looking to play rock or jazz this drum fits into place, staying responsive at all volume levels. Discover a legend in making- the Copper Phonic Patina snare drum.

From Ludwig

With close to 100 years' experience building copper timpani, the newest member to the Ludwig USA snare drum range is the Copper Phonic snare drum. Featuring a dark raw copper finish that makes every one unique.

Built to the same professional standards as the Black Beauty, Supraphonic, and Bronze Phonic models, the new Copper Phonic is an exemplary addition to Ludwig's USA family and a legend in the making. Available in 5x14" (LC661), and 6.5 x14"(LC663) sizes.  Both drums feature a dark raw copper finish, 1.2mm thick shell, Imperial lugs, and 2.3mm hoops.
