Ludwig Vistalite 14" x 6.5" Acrylic Snare Drum, Red

Information

Ludwig Drums is a US manufacturer of percussion instruments, established in 1909 by William F. Theobald Ludwig, son of a German immigrant to the United States. William Jr. had been a professional drummer, playing with circuses and touring vaudeville shows. He and his brother, Theobald, opened a drum shop in Chicago; they called it Ludwig Ludwig. The brand achieved significant popularity in the 1960s due to the endorsement of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.

The Ludwig Vistalite series snares give off a powerful, focused sound with a fierce attack. The drum is handcrafted from reinforced seam moulded acrylic, ensuring the perfection of the sound. All drums in this series contain 45˚ bearing edges, allowing for greater sustain and an even crisper attack. The acrylic shells allow for a beautiful, head-turning, transparent finish that looks fantastic under stage lights. This particular model comes in a pink finish.
