Ludwig Snare Drums

ludwig limited

As the first snare from the modern era to utilize our original 2-piece shell design, the 1930 "Standard" Model Reissue, Nickel-Over-Brass Snare Drum is a true work of art. This limited, 60-piece collaboration between Ludwig and Italian goldsmith Adrian Kirchler, incorporates two thin brass sheets that are joined together at the bead and formed into a strong shell.

Using the same level of craftsmanship Adrian used on Ludwig's 100th Anniversary Gold Triumphal snares, each 2-piece. Brass shell on the "Standard" Reissue is hand-rolled in the Italian Alps using the traditional double-crimped bearing edge on the top and bottom. Following Nickel-plating for a superior finish, two panels are hand-engraved using the Ludwig Triumphal floral pattern, and fitted in the USA with brass- plated die-cast hoops and tube lugs.
