The Ludwig Raw Brass Phonic - A New Spin on an Old Classic

Ludwig set the standard for brass snare drums over 100 years ago, and this new Raw Brass Phonic is an exciting new addition to that lineage.

The core of this 14x6.5 snare is the 1.2mm thick, seamless, beaded brass shell of the same quality as Ludwig's legendary Black Beauty model. The raw, unfinished exterior is impactful both visually and sonically: the natural patina makes for a unique look (even from drum to drum), and the tone is rich and full with a completely unfiltered top end.

This handsome Raw Brass snare has sensitivity and tone that begs to recorded on your next studio project. Notable features include a classic brass Keystone badge, 10 Imperial lugs, flanged hoops, and a sensitive P88 throw off.

We at Drum Center of Portsmouth are big fans of this drum!

Please note: the patina finish on Ludwig's 'raw' models can and will differ greatly from drum to drum. The drum you receive will likely not match the drum in the photo, and we cannot accept returns/exchanges based on differences in appearance.
