Ludwig LB454RT Raw Brass Phonic Snare Drum 14x5 w/Tube Lugs

Ludwig Raw Brass Phonic Snare Drum – 14x5 Tube Lug Model

Built on Ludwig's century-old legacy of brass snare excellence, the Raw Brass Phonic delivers authentic vintage character with modern playability. The 1.2mm seamless beaded brass shell—the same premium construction found in Ludwig's Black Beauty—produces a rich, articulate tone with a completely unfiltered top end. The unfinished raw brass exterior develops a natural patina over time, creating a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that evolves with use and adds genuine visual appeal to any kit or studio setup.

This 14x5 snare combines responsive sensitivity with exceptional recording clarity, making it an excellent choice for studio work, session playing, and drummers who value authentic brass tone and character. The instrument's balanced design works across musical styles, from jazz and funk to rock and pop.
