From yesterday's Black Beauty to today's Black Magic, Ludwig's brass snares have earned a special place in the hearts of drum enthusiasts everywhere. The Ludwig Raw Brass snare is a new step in an old direction. This snare starts with a seamless center-beaded brass shell of the same quality as Ludwig's legendary Black Beauties. Most striking is this drum's unfinished exterior. The total lack of finish yields a truly natural patina and completely unfiltered top end. This makes the Ludwig Raw Brass snare not just a snare you'll be proud to feature in your studio snare case, but one whose crisp response and 1:1 sensitivity will make it the star of many recording projects. Other features Ludwig fanatics will love in the Raw Brass snare include a throwback Keystone badge, Imperial lugs, and a sensitive P88 throw off.
