A one-of-a-kind snare honoring a rock drumming legend.
The Ludwig 14x6.5" limited-edition classic maple Bun E. Carlos Signature snare drum proudly celebrates Carlos's 40 years as a Ludwig ambassador with an exclusive, limited-run Classic Maple snare drum. Crafted in Ludwig's Monroe, North Carolina factory, this 6.5x14" snare features their legendary 7-ply, 6 mm maple shell, made using the proprietary R.F.S.T. molding process with a 45-degree bearing edge. Each drum is uniquely adorned with actual, unused Cheap Trick concert tickets from Bun's personal collection, meticulously handlaid and sealed with a clear polyurethane lacquer, ensuring no two drums are alike. Outfitted with chrome-plated brass tube lugs, a cast brass Keystone Badge, P88 throw-off, 2.3 mm triple-flange hoops, 18-strand "1963" steel snare wires and Ludwig Weather Master heads, this snare is built for both performance and legacy. A limited-edition interior label personally signed by Carlos himself completes this homage to a drumming icon whose distinctive style has inspired generations worldwide.
