Ludwig 5.5X14 Universal Brass Snare Drum with Chrome

The Ludwig 5.5x14 Universal Brass Snare with Chrome Plated Hoops brings professional‐grade performance to drummers seeking rich, dynamic sound across multiple musical styles. This versatile instrument emphasises optimal response and sensitivity while producing the dark, warm tones that brass shells are renowned for, making it suitable for various tuning ranges and head combinations.

Modelled after Ludwig's famous Black Beauty, this snare drum features a 1mm all‐brass shell with black nickel plating for durability and distinctive appearance. The drum comes equipped with heavy‐duty tube lugs, P88i throw‐off, P35 butt plate, and 20 strand snare wires, providing the reliability and precision that professional and aspiring drummers demand.

The chrome‐plated triple flange hoops contribute to the drum's balanced and controlled sound characteristics. These hoops offer a softer, more subtle rimshot and cross‐stick sound compared to die‐cast alternatives, giving players greater tonal flexibility and dynamic control during performance.
