Customized Ludwig Acrolite Snare

I customized this Ludwig Acrolite aluminum shell 5×14 black galaxy finish snare drum by adding black chrome tube lugs, rims, tension rods, butt plate and a hand painted P85 strainer.  A Remo Corey Miller Tattoo Skyn batter head gave it some more attitude and a snare side ambassador and Puresound wires helped give it some crack.  I did this as a fun way to trick out a lower end drum and ended up pleasantly surprised by the attack and overall sound.  Meet “The Attackrolite!”

Ludwig 1969 Maple Snare Project Notes & Sound Check

Here’s a video with notes about this snare and the work I did to get it back to good playing condition. The drum looks and sounds great! Really happy with how it came out.
