Legendary hard rock sound!

I have been playing the drums for over 30 years and continue to draw inspiration from the drumming of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden and others. Ludwig's budget snare sounds very much like that unforgettable classic Hard rock drum sound that continues to inspire me. I really like the powerful, punchy, loud sound of the Ludwig snare drum, but it can also sound quiet. Recommend to all hard rock fans who are on a budget.

AMAZING snare!

This snare is just amazing sounding. Not just because of of the cheap price. It's just as good or even better than several of my much more expensive snares. I've had no issue with the quality do far. Buy it!! ;-)

Low and fat or high with a crack !

A ridiculously versatile snare drum, especially for the price. I think I prefer it to my acrolite

good for the price

I bought this as my first snare and I got to say I am not disappointed. For the price it's sold at, I believe it's a good deal for anyone who is looking to build a rock drumset like me. I use some duct tape on it to achieve the sound I want, but doing that on the snared exactly as it arrived (but tuned) works great for the house shows my band plays and also for recording. One con I can give it is that it is not that small compared to other to carry, and that might be a bit of a hassle for some people/travelling musicians. On my behalf, it's really nothing much as as big as it is it is also composed and looks like it can stand the test of time, even though i've only had it for 2 months (as off now, it has had daily use and has been carried everywhere and presents zero harm. All in all this is just a personall opinion, but if you're starting your first drumset playing some alternative rock style music I would say the Ludwig LW6514SL 14"x6,5" Supralite is something to consider, while I realise it migh not be for everyone

Awesome

At first I wanted a Supraphonic but that was quite expensive so i thought about trying a supralite and I am more than satisfied . Even though it's a steel snare , the sound can be warm and sweet like a wooden one if you muffle just a little bit . It's also very powerful , and suits every drumming style from really heavy stuff to brushes. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to buy something special for a good price .
