## Description

Ludwig Supralite Steel Snare Drum 14x8 Inch

Review: Great Ludwig Product ... made famous by Led Zeppelin's John Bonham - Okay, so John Bonham played the 6 1/2 x 14 snare, but you get the point! As you would expect from Ludwig, this is a great product, I bought this to add to my collection of snares I use when playing live, and I was presently surprised. Fit and finish is excellent. As expected, the heads and snares are Ludwig "entry level"... I suppose because Ludwig understands that most drummers will swap out snares and heads for their own preferences. I installed a 30 wire "TrueSound" snare, with an Evans EC-3 batter head. First impressions are: 1. the 8" delivers the classic 80s deep sound, with a thunderous crack 2. the OEM snare wires are not great ... opt for an aftermarket snare, 30 or 40 strand 3. tune it to personal taste, which for me and this snare is "mid-range". Great fat 70s-80s sound Although this is a steel snare, don't let it fool you. I own a 6 1/2 x 14 Black Beauty (tuned high), and this is a great snare vs BB ($300 vs. $800). This snare sounds amazing ! But with all snares, it takes time to find the proper heads and snare bed to give it your own personal sound. Great Product which I highly recommend if you want that big, fat, coliseum sound from the 70s and 80s Jeff Cincinnati, OH
Review: Drummer son loves it. - This magnificent display of craftsmanship is a glory to behold. I've done extensive research on budget snare drums & the recommendations do not disappoint. Sturdy, effective & simple snare throw offs, BEAUTIFUL stainless steel design (you can literally brush your teeth in the reflection 🤩), not to mention the tube lugs blend modern & vintage aesthetics. Don't let the size fool you.. Although it's common for deep snares to have a phat, beefy tone akin to most 80s music, you CAN and SHOULD crank this bad boy to the heavens!! These tunings can and will resemble a firecracker! Gospel, hip hop, fusion jazz, etc. In fact, I'd argue at higher tunings, due to more space in the drum for air circulation, it may offer warmer ghost notes in contrast to ear splitting back beats (no seriously, this drum gets l o u d). I'm not a huge fan of long, sustained overtones, so I put a Moongel on it (one is enough, but to each's own), but you can buy an S Hoop or die cast hoop to dry the tones out a bit. All in all, 10/10 budget snare!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone know the length of the tension rods?**
A: Over all length is about 2 7/8"

**Q: Does it not come with a stand?**
A: It does NOT comes with a stand. You only get the snare.

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: Probably China, that’s why it’s got a seam and is only $200. However, it is a GREAT snare, I am in love with mine. If you like deep, phat crack at a medium to high tuning this bad boy will set you straight. If you tune it low it’s a cannon!

**Q: Ludwig supralite steel snare drum 14 x 8 in.
does it really weigh 5lb?**
A: The specs say its 5lbs. But probably alittle more depending on what type of heads, & snare wires.
