About Delivery

The Ludwig Acrolite Hammered 14 x 6.5" Aluminium Snare Drum is a versatile drum that generates a super-dry, potent crack that's with exhilarating energy. This bright sounding 1.6mm seamless aluminium shell features a hand-hammering texture that compresses the sound, reducing overtones and adding its signature whisper. It may be dry, but it's certainly not as cold as a lot of aluminium snares; this Acrolite has a fundamental warmth in its makeup.

Originally introduced in 1963 as an affordable student option, the Ludwig Acrolite was soon co-opted by the professionals of the day that knew that its amazing dry, cracking tone was usually only available from higher end - and much more expensive - snare drums. They soon found out that this snare was worth its weight in gold - not only did it sound great, but it was perfect for life on the road thanks to its tough, stable construction. This was the gigging pro's dream drum.
