Ludwig Hammered Bronze Phonic Snare 8x14 LB508K

The Ludwig Bronze Phonic sound combines the warmth of a wood shell with the cutting projection of a metal shell.

Features:

Shell: This snare drum has a seamless, 1.2mm-thick hammered bronze shell. The hammered pattern controls overtones and adds complexity, while the bronze alloy provides a warm, dark, and resonant sound.

Dimensions: The drum is 14 inches in diameter and has an 8-inch depth, which provides a fat, low-end punch and increased projection.

Hardware: The LB508K features classic Ludwig hardware:

Lugs: 10 imperial lugs.

Hoops: 2.3mm triple-flanged steel hoops.

Throw-off: P85 or P88AC throw-off and P35P butt plate, depending on the model variation.

Sound: The bronze shell offers a unique tonal quality that sits between brass and copper. It is suitable for both studio recording and live performances across many genres.
