Designed to maintain consistent tension under rigorous playing.

Independent shopping perspective
Built as an updated take on Ludwig’s P85 throw-off, the cast P88 is a direct replacement option for P83, P85, and P86 units. Its Wave-Lock tension knob is intended to keep snare tension consistent through demanding playing. The combo pack also includes the P35 butt-plate, pairing the mechanism with a low-mass design that makes minimal contact with the shell.
