Description

The Ludwig Raw Bronze series represents the fusion of traditional metallurgy and modern sonic needs. Built from a seamless bronze shell, these snares offer a wide dynamic range and lush overtones while delivering the cutting attack needed in todayโ€™s versatile drumming environments.

The Raw Striped Bronze finish is hand-applied and naturally agedโ€”no lacquer, no paint, just pure character. This process gives every drum its own fingerprint-like identity while enhancing the shellโ€™s natural resonance. Whether you’re recording in the studio or cutting through a live mix, the Raw Bronze snare’s complex voice and striking visual appeal make it a standout choice for players who demand tone and individuality.

Why Choose Ludwig Raw Bronze:

  • Seamless bronze construction for exceptional tonal depth

  • Visually unique with natural patina and striping

  • Professional-grade components and build quality

  • Equally suited for subtle ghost notes or cracking rimshots

  • A fusion of classic tone and raw visual edge
