LudwigExotic Select Snare Drum with Black Nickel Hardware 14 x 6.5 in. Amethyst Burst
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Amethyst Burst version of Ludwig’s Exotic Select snare pairs a 14 x 6.5 in. 7-ply maple shell with a figured Ambrosia maple outer veneer. Its maple shell is described as warm, projecting, and sensitive across the dynamic range, so quiet ghost notes and more forceful playing remain part of the intended use. Poly-Glass lacquer covers the shell, with black nickel hardware and die-cast hoops. The P88 strainer gives the player direct, precise control over snare-wire tension.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsal, studio, and stage parts requiring response from ghost notes through stronger rimshots.
- Players who want to change snare-wire tension precisely with a P88 strainer.
- Kits that call for an Amethyst Burst finish over uniquely patterned Ambrosia maple veneer.
