Ludwig Supralite Steel Snare Drum 14 x 8 in.

Okay, so John Bonham played the 6 1/2 x 14 snare, but you get the point! As you would expect from Ludwig, this is a great product, I bought this to add to my collection of snares I use when playing live, and I was presently surprised. Fit and finish is excellent. As expected, the heads and snares are Ludwig "entry level"... I suppose because Ludwig understands that most drummers will swap out snares and heads for their own preferences. I installed a 30 wire "TrueSound" snare, with an Evans EC-3 batter head. First impressions are: 1. the 8" delivers the classic 80s deep sound, with a thunderous crack 2. the OEM snare wires are not great ... opt for an aftermarket snare, 30 or 40 strand 3. tune it to personal taste, which for me and this snare is "mid-range". Great fat 70s-80s sound Although this is a steel snare, don't let it fool you. I own a 6 1/2 x 14 Black Beauty (tuned high), and this is a great snare vs BB ($300 vs. $800). This snare sounds amazing ! But with all snares, it takes time to find the proper heads and snare bed to give it your own personal sound. Great Product which I highly recommend if you want that big, fat, coliseum sound from the 70s and 80s Jeff Cincinnati, OH

This magnificent display of craftsmanship is a glory to behold. I've done extensive research on budget snare drums & the recommendations do not disappoint. Sturdy, effective & simple snare throw offs, BEAUTIFUL stainless steel design (you can literally brush your teeth in the reflection 🤩), not to mention the tube lugs blend modern & vintage aesthetics. Don't let the size fool you.. Although it's common for deep snares to have a phat, beefy tone akin to most 80s music, you CAN and SHOULD crank this bad boy to the heavens!! These tunings can and will resemble a firecracker! Gospel, hip hop, fusion jazz, etc. In fact, I'd argue at higher tunings, due to more space in the drum for air circulation, it may offer warmer ghost notes in contrast to ear splitting back beats (no seriously, this drum gets l o u d). I'm not a huge fan of long, sustained overtones, so I put a Moongel on it (one is enough, but to each's own), but you can buy an S Hoop or die cast hoop to dry the tones out a bit. All in all, 10/10 budget snare!!

It came with a badly bent snare side rim, I should receive a partial refund

This snare is awesome! 8" deep! It's super light(supralite), pun intended, but it feels very solid. It's got a lot of tone for a metal drum, its bright and crisp. I didnt need to, the batter head it comes with sounds great, but I bought an Aquarian High Energy and it damped the ring just right(there wasn't much to begin with, surprisingly being a deep metal drum.) Its got a great, authoritative crack.

Received my 14"×8" Lugwig Snare this afternoon. These evening I put the key to it and gave it a voice, for stock heads sound great. Can't wait to integrate it in to a kit. Great drum for the price! A+

impressive sound. better than most 14x08 steel snares i've tried before. easy to tune. i upgraded it with die-cast 3.0mm hoops, better drumheads and good snare wires now this snare sounds like an expensive snare. awesome snare drum!

The heads that cam with the drum were just ok. I replaced the batter with a controlled sound head and the snare side with an ambassador hazy head. Both Remo. Now it meets every expectation.

My husband really loved his purchase worth the buy he’s in a band and is really putting it in use!

Per rapporto qualità prezzo è una bomba. Avendo preso per la prima volta un rullante nuovo non sapevo che all'inizio i tiranti tendessero a svitarsi molto facilmente dopo ogni prova, perché i tiranti sono molto oliati e grassati, ma con le rondelle in plastica ho risolto subito il problema ( plastica su metallo maggior attrito). Molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto super volume e suono profondo ma tagliente con pelle tesa! Le pelli non sono il massimo con pelli remo il rullante migliora molto di suono. Se non si vuole spendere cifre altissime è da prendere e poi è sempre ludwig.

Muy buen sonido, muy versátil. Recomiendo cambiar los parches de fábrica para obtener ese sonido potente. En relación calidad y precio está excelente.

Muy buena relacion precio calidad. Tiene muh buen sonido

Suena muy bien aunque por el precio de Amazon definitivamente podría comprar una mejor,le puse parche Ambassador y 300 abajo y su sonido es de lo mejor,además le puse arandelas de plástico en los lugs y fue una excelente decisión,sin duda mejoré está tarola que ahora es de mis favoritas,en general la recomiendo pues es muy versátil
