Ludwig’s “Satin De luxe” snare is a modern take on a classic design from the 1920s for all of today’s styles and needs. At the foundation of this snare is Ludwig’s legendary 1.2mm USA Seamless Brass shell. It’s famous for its undeniable tone, presence and versatility with an elegant satin-black finish. Nickel-plated hardware frames the shell with classic elegance, including single-flanged hoops, tube lugs and P88 throw off / P35 Cast Butt Plate.
