Ludwig Classic Maple 2026 - Vintage Black Oyster

Well this is something you just don't see everyday.

Brand New in Box / Factory Sealed Packing.

​Up for sale is a brand-new, unplayed 2026 Ludwig Classic Maple 3"x13" Snare Drum finished in the iconic Vintage Black Oyster wrap. This drum was removed from its master carton only for clear, detailed inspection photos and will ship safely packed in its original Ludwig factory box.

​Crafted in Monroe, North Carolina, the Ludwig Classic Maple pancake/piccolo design combines the legendary 7-ply North American maple shell with ultra-fast attack and crisp articulate sensitivity. Despite its shallow 3-inch depth, the 13-inch diameter provides serious bite, high-end crack, and surprising tuning versatility—making it equally potent as a razor-sharp primary funk/hip-hop snare or a compact, cutting side snare.
