Independent shopping perspective
The Ebony Pearl NeuSonic is a 14 x 6.5 in. snare centered on Ludwig’s 5.5 mm seven-ply shell. Four maple outer plies supply the familiar attack described for maple, and three cherry plies on the inside bring warmth, playability, and extra breath to the response. Ludwig links the thin shell to stronger resonance and sustain. It is handcrafted in Monroe, North Carolina, with a P88 throw-off and steel hoops.
