Description

Ludwig Jazz Fest 14″ x 5.5″ Snare Drum – Vintage Black Oyster. Vintage Black Oyster gives this Jazz Fest a distinctive finish, but the playing voice comes from the mahogany shell. The 14-inch head opens the backbeat and its 5.5-inch depth keeps the note controlled.

Shell and Sound:

The Legacy Mahogany shell uses three plies for a warm, rounded note. Ludwig pairs it with a white Reso-Coat interior and a vintage-style snare bed.

Hardware and Response:

A three-step baseball-bat tone control can take some ring out of the drum without changing its tuning. Eight twin lugs give it the classic look.

  • 3 Ply Legacy Mahogany Shell
  • vintage ‘64 snare bed
  • 8 twin lugs
  • 3-step baseball bat tone-control
  • White “Reso-Coat” interior
