What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Carefully crafted 7-ply shells





The NeuSonic’s special tonal formula is a 7-ply concoction that consists of three internal plies of cherry wood cloaked by an external four plies of maple. Matching these two tonewoods produces a hybrid sound highlighted by pronounced punchiness, articulate responsiveness, and extraordinary midrange definition. But before completed, this snare endures Ludwig’s Radio Frequency Shell Technology (RFST) production protocol that additionally uses a proprietary adhesive to ensure that each ply within the NeuSonic forms with elite-level stability.





Furthermore, the NeuSonic snare’s shell comes cut with perfect 45-degree bearing edges for totally balanced interaction with its Ludwig-branded Remo drumheads, extracting optimal characteristics from each to deliver a tone that lives up to expectations. Finally, 18 strands of steel snare wire cap the sonic response of the NeuSonic with a snappiness that’s sensitive enough to excel at many dynamic levels without any overbearing buzz.





Hardware to handle it all





While this snare’s deluxe hybrid shell sings its gorgeous natural tone, an assortment of highly effective hardware brings an extra level of charm and professional-grade performance to the table. To begin with, 10 center-mounted Twin lugs line the shell of the NeuSonic and come armed with rubber tension rod washers and grommets that virtually eliminate any threat of hardware rattle, leaving only the snare wires to vibrate freely. When you need to tenor the NeuSonic, a Ludwig-classic P88 throw off idles by for quick side-to-side engagement in an instant. Topped off with lightweight, stick-saving, and widely tunable triple-flanged hoops, it’s no secret that the Ludwig NeuSonic snare drum has a lot to say!
