The Ludwig Acro’s Grand Re-entrance!

Ludwig breathes new life into the Acro series, now fully updated with completely flawless playability, gorgeous looks, and impressive metal snare tonality. Derived from the structure of Ludwig’s famous Acrolite series, the Acro snare features a lightly tempered beaded shell with brush finishing across four unique and characterful shell materials: aluminum, brass, copper, and bronze. This Ludwig Acro snare drum features a copper shell, offering a warmer, darker, and borderline woodier metal tone. The Acro snare comes outfitted with an ornate, fast-acting, and fully cast P86AC snare throw off and P35P butt plate, along with 10 steadfast and like-original Twin lugs. Capping the Acro snare are a pair of drumstick-forgiving 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops, which Sweetwater’s drummers love for promoting fantastic tuning flexibility and wide-open tone. Its 6.5- x 14-inch dimensionality offers a wonderfully standard feel for all drummers wanting that authentic metal tone, from hard-rock drummers to jazz percussionists and all players in between!

Throwback Ludwig throw off

The gorgeous P86AC snare throw off adorning the Acro snare makes for the best of both worlds in terms of flare and functionality. This hardware piece harkens back to vintage-style throw offs of the past, boasting the old-school Ludwig logo and ornate patterning across its flat-handled mechanism. Unlike undependable historic designs, however, the P86AC is a fully cast throw off, meaning not only effortless dependability, but also maximum performance longevity. It’s charming and operationally sound details like the P86AC throw off that help make the Acro snare such an eye- and ear-catcher for musicians and non-musicians alike!

Ludwig Acro Snare Drum Features:

  • Return of a classic Ludwig snare, re-designed for sonic and functional success
  • Available in aluminum, brass, copper, and bronze
  • Lightly tempered beaded shell offers unique metallic tonal characteristics
  • Fully cast P86AC throw off and P35P butt plate provide dependability and gorgeous vintage-style details
  • Adornment of 10 hearty Twin lugs channel the historic Acrolite model
  • 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops display exceptional tuning flexibility and open tonality
  • Standard 6.5- x 14-inch dimensionality is a superb fit for drummers of all genres and backgrounds
