The Korena take
The Ludwig P86C is a drop-style snare throw-off assembly for changing snare-wire engagement and tension from the drum. Its lever turns the wires on or off, then folds away for a lower profile. The knurled knob is made for small, controlled tension adjustments, while the two-bolt wire attachment supports fast removal and reinstallation of replacement snares. Ludwig scrollwork and the script logo give the assembly its distinctive visual detail.


Strong match
Who this is for
- Live performances and recording sessions that call for quick changes between engaged and released snare wires.
