Ludwig Chrome Over Brass Snare Drum, 14x5in, Imperial Lugs

Performance-proven, the sound that fueled the most hit recordings in history, Ludwig Supraphonic is the snare choice of the pros.

The Word From The Shop:

"Aesthetically quite similar to the supraphonic series but a whole other sound. Chrome over brass (COB) is regarded as one of the very best formulations of shells on the market for the last 50 years. Every major company produces a chrome over brass shell, as they produce a sweet musical sound with great overtones and clear response."

Ludwig’s Chrome over the Brass snare drum, introduced in 1960 as the Super Ludwig, was the predecessor to the Supraphonic. The brass alloy coupled with a chrome plating offers the musical undertones favoured by brass with just the right touch of added focus and treble. Though short-lived from its original release, the COB would go on to become one of the most sought after and in demand drums that would lead to its re-release in the 90's.
