For nearly a century, Ludwig have garnered world renown for their mastery of brass snare production. The Universal series of snares distills this mastery into an incredibly affordable drum. This snare delivers crisp, articulate tones with a powerful attack. For the working drummer on a budget, or the intermediate drummer looking to upgrade their snare for the first time, Universal Series brass snares are an excellent choice.

Ludwig poineered the black-nickel over brass shell concept in the early 1920's, setting a standard that all others would follow. Universal Brass Snare Drums bring that signature sound and quality to a whole new playing spectrum, with four models to satisfy any playing situation. Accentuated with tube lugs and a choice of flanged hoops or die-cast hoops, Universal Brass snares deliver classic tone that drummers have come to expect from Ludwig.
