General

The Ludwig Supraphonic and Acrolite snares have been much-loved legends of the drumming world for decades, but if you want the power of this incredibly flexible and mighty snare on your side, you usually have to fork out quite a chunk of cash. Thankfully, Ludwig have served up the more accessible Supralite Series, so that, while they might be made in a different workshop, they're still gifted with Ludwig-grade quality and fat sound. So here, you're getting a 14" by 6.5" steel shell with an insane tuning range and fitted with 2.3mm triple flanged tension hoops for thick rim shots and clicks. The LW6514SL is just as able to support any playing style as any of its celebrated siblings.

Mooie snare... vet... geweldige prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Makkelijk te stemmen. Prachtig uiterlijk... mooi afgewerkt. Speel al jaren op een Ludwig Supraphonic... de beste snare ooit! Deze supealight is een mooue aanvulling in karakter. Top!

Wrote the following about Ludwig LW6514SL Supralite 14 x 6.5-inch Snare Drum
Deze Supralite is een absolute aanrader. Het vinden van een goede sound is enorm makkelijk, zowel hoog als laag gestemd. Stemmen gaat snel en soepel. Ik heb de drum direct meegenomen naar de studio en hij neemt prachtig op. Enig nadeel: de meegeleverde vellen klinken prima, maar de coating van het slagvel slijt vrij snel.
