(Ludwig | Posted 2006-08-23)
Who better to pay homage to the “chief”, than Ludwig Drums? The “chief” is none other than William Ludwig II, the leading force in percussion design and manufacturing throughout the 20th century? Ludwig Drums is honoring Mr. Ludwig with “The Chief” Titanium Snare Drum, a limited edition professional snare drum featuring titanium shells by Ronn Dunnett.
Model L2006 is a 6.5x14” titanium snare drum that features a thin, light .035” Titanium Shell – 800 grams / 1.8lbs – the thinnest, lightest snare shell on the market. The drum is 3.7 kilos / 8 lbs, perfectly round and polished to high luster.
This fine instrument performs with a low fundamental sound and has an incredible wide tuning range. It features ten Imperial lugs, stamped chrome plated hoops, adjustable air vent, and Dunnett snare strainer and butt plate. A specially minted drum badge featuring Bill Ludwig II – “The Chief” – commemorates his historical contributions to drums and drumming.
