From rock to pop, it’s tough to beat (so to speak) the classic maple snare drum. The Ludwig Standard Maple snare owes its fat pocket and woody sensitivity to a modest 7-ply shell of expertly crafted maple, skillfully brought to life in Ludwig’s own North Carolina factory. Classic triple-flanged hoops provide a meaty rimshot and lively open tone that speaks for whatever style of music you put into it. Even better, the Ludwig Standard Maple snare drum’s commanding finish options cater to all sorts of classic and modern kits.Ludwig purists will enjoy the Bowtie lugs, which are a nod to some of Ludwig’s most coveted vintage snares and shells.
