LUDWIG LW0814JR 8x14" Jim Riley Black Magic Signature Engraved Steel Snare DrumOrnamented with a laser-engraving that is true to his roots, Jim Riley`s snare produces plenty of projection and SNAP with full-bodied balance thanks to an 8"x14" Stainless Steel shell. Perfect for a wide variety of applications, from studio to stage, and featuring black-nickel tube lugs and die-cast hoops.The classic bead around the center of the shell, a Ludwig hallmark, gives it additional stiffness and tonal focus. This is a BIG snare drum and is capable of the biggest, deepest and fattest backbeat sound that you have ever heard while its beaded stainless steel shell and strong, rock-stiff die-cast hoops will allow you to climb up high through its tuning range where you will find great cut and a penetrating higher range of pitch and attack.The bright and polished stainless steel shell is ornamented with laser-engraved images and an additional distinctive LUDWIG artist logo and is also handsomely set off by black nickel-plated classic tube lugs and die-cast hoops. A really great-looking snare drum that sounds even better than it looks! This is a "lifetime" drum!
