Try something different

Basically I wanted to try something different, I usually play Pearl. But I saw this Ludwig Supralite and thought I'd give it a try. It's a nice drum for the price, plays very well low, mid, and also very high. In all it's a great drum right out of the box. I've always wanted a 8-in snare but never thought I'd get one in metal. This 8x14 snare sounds and plays excellent. And thanks to Sweetwater, it was very fast shipping and great customer service like always. But I figured a package came from factory, because there is no Sweetwater bag of goodies inside.

Ludwig snare

After adding a 30 strand snare and Evans HD coated head this drum has great low end sound. Great bang for the buck!!
by Sweetwater Customer on

Dont let the price fool you, Great Value for a great snare Drum!

If you like that great Ludwig snare sound, as only Ludwig can do it, it fits the bill. Love it. I would only replace this drum with a Supraphonic LM402.
