Sound Pure's Take

The sound of this Ludwig Classic Maple snare is exactly as its name implies: a timeless and versatile maple sound that every drummer should have in their arsenal. This drum responds well across a wide range of tunings, thanks to its versatile 6.5x14 dimensions. Crank it up for a modern snap and pop, or tune it low for a warm and gushy vintage tone. This used drum is in excellent condition and is nearly spotless. Fans of Ludwig drums would be remiss by not adding this to their collection.

From Ludwig

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 1970's and 80's.

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.
