LudwigClassic Maple Snare Drum - 14 x 5 in. Black Oyster
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Classic Maple in the 14 x 5 in. format pairs a 7-ply, 6 mm maple shell with 45-degree bearing edges for quick response, clear stick definition, and an accommodating tuning range. Triple-flange hoops keep the drum’s response open while supporting stable tuning. Its patented throw-off and steel carbon wires provide consistent snare engagement, so the drum can move from quiet ghost-note work to stronger accents without changing its basic feel. The Black Oyster wrap gives it a finished kit-ready appearance.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want clear articulation and responsive ghost notes alongside stronger accents and rimshots.
- Live and studio drum setups that call for a snare with a broad tuning range.
