Easily one of the most recognized snare drums, the Ludwig Acrolite has been one of the most popular drums in modern history. Originally introduced as a student snare drum, the Ludwig Acrolite quickly became the choice of pro players in need of dry, cracking snare tone.
The Hammered 6.5"x14" version of the classic Aluminum Acrolite is a great addition to the already vast arsenal of great Ludwig snare drums. Using a seamless aluminum shell, the 6.5x14 utilizes a 10 lug configuration which gives you a little more tuning flexibility. The added hammering helps shorten some of the sustain, and when combined with the aluminum shell, you get a precise and sharp note. The hammering also adds a nice aesthetic that is sure to turn heads.
If you are considering an aluminum drum, the Ludwig Acrolite provides a full-bodied note with all of the sonic characteristics you've come to know and love from Ludwig at an affordable price.
