The 6.5x14 Ludwig Vintage Polished Hammered Brass snare drum's tone resembles that of the Black Beauty, but with a slightly higher pitch. Ludwig's Brass snare drum models utilize a similar hammering technique that's used on their Timpani, which results in a wider playable range. Because of their unique hammering, no two snares will be exactly alike and vary slightly in tonality. This particular Supra is dressed in 10 tube lugs and sports a P88AC throw off.
