Ludwig 14"x6,5" Raw Copper Phonic

Everything I hoped it would be and more. A perfect blend of all classic ludwig snare sounds in one drum.

Responds very well to all tuning ranges but sings in the medium-high range.

The overall tone is drier, has more body and is more controlled than a black beauty or supraphonic but retains the famous ludwig crack, ring, presence and punch.

I brought it to a live recording session in an empty 800 capacity venue and it filled the entire room. The whole crew asked what snare it was because it recorded so well.

The only downside to this snare is the price-tag, but you get what you pay for.
