Detail 01
Seamless 1 mm copper shell
The shell is formed from a single sheet of copper rather than joined from multiple pieces.

Independent shopping perspective
Ludwig’s Raw Striped Copper is a 14 x 6.5-inch copper snare built around a seamless, 1 mm shell. Its raw patina and striped sanding give every shell individual visual character. The drum is described with crisp, earthy response, dry overtones, warm low end, and articulate highs. Die-cast hoops focus the attack and help hold head tension, while Imperial lugs, a P88 throw-off, P35 butt plate, and 20-strand steel wires complete the working hardware package.
