Reintroducing Acrolite In Its Original Splendor, The Ludwig Acro Snare Drum In Brushed Copper - 6.5" X 14"

Originally introduced in 1964, the Ludwig Acrolite snare drum was developed as a student-level Aluminum snare drum. It has gained prominence over the last 50+ years for its professional-level build standards and performance. The Acro Series is the next chapter of the Acrolite legacy.

The Sound Of Copper

The copper model has the darkest timbre quality any metal alloy has to offer. It resonates with the control of a wood snare while offering the presence you expect from a metal drum. It features Ludwigs 1-pc seamless phonic shell in a brushed finish. Adopting the format of the elusive NYC Board of Ed. 6.5"x14" Acrolite of 60’s/70’s, these drums feature a 10-twin lugs format for well-balanced tone and projection.
