In celebration of their 95th Anniversary, Ludwig has introduced a new Special Edition Snare Drum. Beautifully finished in a rich cherry stain, the L2004 features a solid 100% maple shell with reinforcement rings. Brass single flange batter and snare hoops recreate the look of a Ludwig snare drum from the 1920's. To complete the look and function, the drum is fitted with ten all brass vintage styled tube lugs along with Ludwig brass die-cast claw hooks to supply secure and accurate tension.

The unique Ludwig Millennium P86 snare strainer and corresponding P33 butt plate are both brass plated. They combine with Pure Sound 16-strand brass wire snares to provide for an exceptional snare response. A Remo Renaissance batter head is standard while the snare side features Ludwig's Weather Master Resonant head. A vintage styled oval badge displays the Ludwig Trade Mark and Monroe, North Carolina USA designation. An additional limited edition badge features the Wm. F. Ludwig II printed signature along with an exclusive, engraved serial number.

Each L2004 includes a deluxe wooden case wrapped in a durable leather-like material. Trimmed with a contrasting leather-like edging, each case is also fitted with brass trim, latches, and hinge. A soft brown plush lining adds beauty while protecting the drum from the outside world.

The Ludwig L2004 Special Edition Snare Drum has a suggested retail price in the USA of $1,595 and is available through authorized Ludwig dealers.
