Classic-inspired, 3-ply Maple Snare Drum
Drum making is in Bill Ludwig III's blood. His father and grandfather have crafted some of the most iconic snares in the industry. Today, Bill is creating his own breed of classic-inspired wood snares, starting with the thin-shelled 1728N Series. The 1728N Maple’s tri-ply hybrid shell is nuanced and alive. Thin inner and outer plies of choice maple give this snare warmth, musicality, and designer looks, while a thin inner ply of poplar and a set of maple reinforcement rings add focus and crispness. Hand-hewn snare beds and 45° bearing edges maximize snare and head sensitivity. And a Trick Drums GS007 multi-step throw-off offers a broad range of snare tensions to suit any style of music.
