Black Cherry
Black Walnut
South American Mahogany
Macassar Ebony
Makore (African Cherry)
Pearwood
Sapale Pomele

"This is probably the most affordable, extensive line of exotic wood snare drums available from any manufacturer," said Jim Catalano, director of marketing for Ludwig/Musser. "All are crafted in our Ludwig facility in Monroe, North Carolina and reflect a high level of craftsmanship worthy of any player or collector."
Catalano indicated that these rare finishes are available at only $100 above the standard model suggested retail price.
