The Ludwig Supraphonic snare drum features chrome metal shell construction that offers a bright, cutting, and crisp sound found on a multitude of classic pop and jazz hits of the last several decades. The Supraphonic snares are wonderfully responsive, a quality that's further enhanced by their triple-flanged hoops. The 6-1/2" deep version produces deep, fat tone and great projection. The Supraphonic snare drum comes with ten classic lugs and a P-85 throw-off. This is a versatile drum that's perfect for styles ranging from symphonic to arena rock.
