Ludwig Bronze Phonic Snare Drum 14 x 5 in.

Keeping in the tradition of the legendary Phonic Series of USA snares, Ludwig shines the spotlight on the beauty and musicality of the Bronze Phonic line of snares. First launched in the 1982 catalog, bronze snares have been an important part of the Ludwig story. Bronze has been at the core of fine percussion making for centuries—cymbals, bells, trumpets, trombones, gongs, tympani and of course, snare drums. Bronze is created from a blend of copper and tin which gives bronze snares a warmer, wood-like overall tone but with all the aggressive attack and presence of its brass counterpart. Ludwig's 1.2mm shell is made from a single sheet of bronze that is machine drawn into a seamless, beaded shell, is then polished, and outfitted with either imperial or tube lugs. All snares come with a P88 throw, and 2.3mm triple-flange hoops. Sonically, the Bronze Phonic sits in between its brass and copper counterparts. It's slightly warmer and mellower than brass, but more aggressive than copper and always provides its own unique voice in any style or mix. A great addition to any drummer’s sonic palette.
