Ludwig 5x14 Classic Maple Snare Drum - Vintage Blue Oyster
The Ludwig 14x5 Classic Maple Snare Drum in Vintage Blue Oyster (LS401XX2Q) is an exceptional instrument that combines Ludwig's storied history with modern craftsmanship. Known for their contribution to pop, R&B, and other genres, Ludwig wood snares have remained a staple in drumming since the 1970s and 1980s. This snare continues that tradition, delivering a powerful, warm tone with exceptional clarity and projection. Whether you're performing live or recording in the studio, the Classic Maple Snare brings unparalleled musicality to any drum kit.
Featuring a 7-ply maple shell with 45-degree bearing edges, this snare drum produces a full-bodied sound with a sharp, crisp attack. The inclusion of 10 double-ended Twin Lugs provides an even, consistent tension across the drumhead, while the 2.3mm triple-flange hoops offer added durability and increased resonance. The P88AC throw-off mechanism ensures smooth, reliable snare adjustments, and the P35 butt plate adds stability. Complete with the iconic Vintage Blue Oyster finish and chrome hardware, this snare drum stands out in both sound and appearance. Remo Coated Ambassador and Hazy Ambassador drumheads ensure a balanced, responsive sound with enhanced snare sensitivity.
