Classic Musicality from a Classic Drum Company Bronze has long been the cymbal metal of choice, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Sweetwater drummers also value bronze snare drums like the Ludwig LB552R for their unique musicality. First, the unique patina of the Ludwig LB552R’s bronze shell means that no two of these drums are exactly alike! Imperial lugs and 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops work together to provide tuning stability and an even more thunderous attack, as well as contributing to the drum’s classic appearance. The PP88AC throw off also lends that timeless Ludwig look, in addition to its no-frills functionality. Put all of this together, and you’ve got a fantastic all-around snare drum from one of the most respected American drum companies.Ludwig Raw Bronze Snare Drum Features: Bronze shell gives you a very versatile, musical drum Each drum is one of a kind thanks to unique raw bronze
