Walnut has a history of delivering dark rich tone and attack. Ludwig's Universal Walnut snare brings this and more to the sonic table, delivering clear articulation when playing subtle grace notes. The sound of the Walnut shell really comes to life when played loudly. Rimshots and cross-stick sounds deliver a clean and warm tone.

Product specifications: 6.5 x14" 6 ply 7.5 mm Walnut shell with an outer ply of exotic Walnut Burl. Triple flange hoops, tube lugs, P88i throw-off, P35 butt plate, 18 strand snare wires.
