Ludwig LU0713 Universal Brass Snare Drum 13×7 w/Black Hardware

Ludwig Universal Brass Snare Drum 13×7 Versatile Metal Construction with Black Hardware

Ludwig’s Universal Snare Drum series delivers a refined sonic palette designed for drummers seeking versatility across multiple musical styles and tuning ranges. The 13×7 brass model combines rich, dynamic tone with responsive sensitivity, making it an excellent choice for both studio and live performance. Inspired by Ludwig’s legendary Black Beauty design, this Universal Metal snare emphasizes warm, dark character while maintaining the clarity needed for aggressive and subtle playing techniques alike.

The drum’s construction prioritizes durability and tonal balance. Heavy-duty tube lugs provide structural integrity, while the 20-strand snare wire configuration offers responsive articulation. The included P88i throw-off and P35 butt plate ensure reliable engagement and smooth operation. Black nickel die-cast hoops deliver a sharp attack with crisp, cutting rimshots ideal for cutting through dense mixes, while the chrome-plated triple flange hoops provide a more controlled, balanced response with softer cross-stick articulation.
