Arguably one of the rarest Ludwig finishes makes a triumphant return! Originally seen in production as early as 1959 and as late as 1963, Pink Oyster Pearl captured a dynamic aesthetic that would make it one of drum's most sought-after colors in the collector circuit. Its extremely limited nature turned this finish into a cult classic that demands some of the biggest resale values in vintage drums.

Like all other Vintage Oyster finishes from Ludwig, these are authentically produced by a hand blending process of material to recreate this illustrious look. No reproduction printed material here. Only the highest quality of handcrafted acetate film! Ludwig's reissue pays respect to the craft of age-old material production and brings back one of Ludwig's most-in-demand finishes.

Ludwig's wood snares have remained popular throughout the company's nearly 100-year history, and were the drums that helped establish the fat backbeat and deep grooves of pop and R&B music in the 1970's and 80's.

The Classic Maple all-maple shell features the clarity and warmth players have come to expect from maple drums, plus the projection and musicality that has maintained Ludwig's reputation for snare drum innovation and excellence. Available in a wide selection of sounds, sizes and styles, from piccolo, standard and deep models. From lacquer, exotic and wrapped finishes, Ludwig Classic Maple snares are the new Classics of today.
