(Ludwig | Posted 2005-02-18)

Ludwig, the most famous name in drums, has taken on all challengers by providing nine new exotic wood veneers on its Classic Maple snare drums at affordable prices.

In addition to the already available Birdseye Maple and Waterfall Bubinga finishes, Ludwig Classic Maple snare drums are also available in the following exotic veneers:

Black Cherry
Black Walnut
South American Mahogany
Macassar Ebony
Makore (African Cherry)
Pearwood
Sapale Pomele
East Indian Rosewood
Santos Rosewood

"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.
