Keeping the traditions of the Phonic Series alive with a massive bronze snare capable of a wide range of tuning options.
Bronze is one of the most beautifully musical metals on the planet—so much so that cymbal makers have been using it as their centerpiece for generations. Ludwig’s Bronze Phonic series combines this musicality with the classic attack and body that have made us the “Most Famous Name On Drums” for over 100 years.
Ludwig's USA made 1.2 mm seamless bronze shell offers a unique blend of the wood and metal tones that always quickly find their own space in any mix or setting. Long favored by legends like Alan White, who’s relied on his for over 20 years, the Bronze Phonic series is a must have for any serious snare collection.
