Ludwig 14'' x 5'' Acrophonic Snare Drum LA404K
Regular price £569.00The Ludwig 14'' x 5'' LA404K Acrophonic Snare Drum is a beautiful, limited edition snare drum from Ludwig, featuring a high-quality hammered aluminium shell that gives a universally useful tone. The Acrophonic is an incredibly sought after snare, grabbing all the attention with good reason. The Acrophonic is best described as a combination of Ludwig's Supraphonic snare series and the Acrolite snare series. The hammered aluminium shell provides a bright, resonant tone with a great balance of frequencies.
Similar to steel but with fewer overtones and much more body, the sound is incredibly universal and ideally suited to any style or genre thanks to the wide frequency range. The snare features Ludwig's classic Imperial lugs and 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops, keeping your snare in tune easily in the form of a classic design. Finished with a Keystone badge to compliment the shell colour, the Ludwig 14'' x 5'' Acrophonic Snare Drum combines two of Ludwig's most successful snares to provide incredible tonal quality.

Ahead 13” X 6′ Chrome On Brass Snare Drum W/Dunnett Strainer
Regular price £499.00 Sale price £399.00 Save £100.00Yamaha Recording Custom Aluminium Snare Drum | 14 × 6.5"
Regular price £489.00Developed in collaboration with drumming legend Steve Gadd, the Yamaha 14″ x 6.5″ Recording Custom Aluminum Snare Drum includes a handful of special features that set it apart from just another aluminum drum. When you open the box, the drum inside will be equipped with 20-strand snappy snare wires, which is fairly typical. However, you’ll also find a special 10-strand set of wires in the box made to Steve’s preference – it’s really a 14-strand set with four inner wires cut out for a crisper sound! The center bead along the equator of the shell is fixed on the outside to give the drum more openness and fullness. A heavy-duty Q-type strainer gives you smooth, stable snare action and it just feels solid. Aluminum gives you a tastefully bright tone that doesn’t ring quite as much as other metals, so you don’t have to dampen to get the right sound.
