Description

Ludwig Universal 14″ x 6.5″ Walnut Snare Drum. This walnut Universal has a rounded low-mid centre but still puts a defined edge on each stroke. The 14-inch head gives it the reach of a primary snare, and the 6.5-inch shell lets the body of the note develop after the attack.

Shell and Sound:

The 7.5mm, six-ply walnut construction wears an outer walnut burl ply. Its warm, darker voice remains articulate when the drum is played softly or driven into a stronger backbeat.

Hardware and Response:

Triple-flanged hoops allow the head to ring naturally and keep the rimshot musical rather than overly hard. The 18-strand wires add controlled snare texture while leaving the walnut tone audible.

  • 6.5 x14″ 6 ply 7.5 mm Walnut shell with an outer ply of exotic Walnut Burl
  • Triple flange hoops
  • tube lugs
  • P88i throw-off
  • P35 butt plate
  • 18 strand snare wires
