2021 Ludwig Raw Brass 5" Samples

Gorgeous Patina, Legendary Sound … 

This snare starts with a seamless center-beaded brass shell just like legendary Black Beauties, but doesn’t receive an exterior finish.  This yields a truly natural patina and completely unfiltered top end.  Crisp response and sensitivity, and believe it or not, it does sound different than a Black Beauty of the the size and specs.
