The Ludwig Copper Phonic is the only copper snare drum currently available from Ludwig. Ludwig has been designing copper timpani for decades, and their craftsmanship is on full display with the newest addition to their snare drum line. This 14x5 SEAMLESS 1.2mm thick shell sports Imperial lugs, and patina'd dark raw copper finish. The end result is an incredibly full and warm sound, impressive sensitivity, and dynamic range. A solid all-around snare for any drum kit!
