Ludwig's Universal Snare Drum series offers a palette of new sounds to complement virtually any style of music. Universal Snares were designed to bring unique musical voices to the stage that work well in various musical styles across multiple tuning ranges. Sonic range and richness have never been so accessible!

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.
