A Snare with Universal Appeal
Though it shares the same name as its nickel-over-brass-shelled ancestor, this all-new 6-ply cherry-shelled Universal Snare Drum from Ludwig really lives up to its name in terms of playability. With dimensions measuring 6.5 inches deep by 14 inches across, the Universal provides an ideal balance of projection and tone that will surely penetrate any mix. Dressed with triple-flanged hoops, this snare looks sharp, boasting a classic aesthetic with standard 45-degree bearing edges. A P88i throw off and a P35 butt plate power duo pair perfectly for adjusting the tension of your snare wires to fit any rhythm section you lead. Make no mistake: Ludwig’s Universal Snare Drum is a fantastic choice for drummers of all ages, calibers, and playing styles!

Premium cherry shell
The Universal’s fabulous tone all starts with its shell construction. Cherry drum shells have an undeniable warmth and punch to them, in part due to its dense nature. Responding similarly to a birch-shelled snare, this drum possesses a thundering darkness, but serves that universal vibe that Ludwig is going for quite well. In fact, Sweetwater drummers have found this 6-ply shell resonates in a cross-genre fashion to adjust to just about any playing style. Take the cherry-shelled Universal snare onstage, and you'll instantly electrify any performance with a stunning low-end presence.
