Ludwig Supraphonic Smooth Bronze 5.5x14 Snare Drum

Bronze has long been the cymbal metal of choice, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that drummers also value bronze snare drums like the Ludwig LB552 for their unique musicality. First, the smoothness of the Ludwig LB552’s bronze shell means that airflow is less restricted, resulting in a drum that isn’t just musical, but also loud! Imperial lugs and 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops work together to provide tuning stability and an even more thunderous attack, as well as contributing to the drum’s classic appearance. The PP88AC throw off also lends that timeless Ludwig look, in addition to its no-frills functionality. Put all of this together, and you’ve got a fantastic all-around snare drum from one of the most respected American drum companies.
