Ludwig Bronze Phonic 14x05" Raw Bronze

Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin; this composition makes it hard and strong. It’s perfect for making cymbals because it’s easy to shape to create a specific sound and strong enough to withstand hard hits. The same goes for a snare drum! According to the Phonic design—which is characterized by exceptional precision and consistency—the 1.2mm-thick Bronze Phonic shell is cast in one piece, seamlessly, from a bronze alloy. It produces a wood-like, complex tone with a crisp mid-range. Bronze is definitely one of the most musical materials in the world of metal snare drums. This 5" version of the Bronze Phonic offers the best in punch, body, and funkiness. Ludwig knows better than anyone how to craft a beautiful snare drum; check out this raw bronze finish, where the outer layer of bronze has been patinated and then impregnated. The classic look of the Imperial lugs, combined with the triple-flange hoops, is a must-have.
