Well, if you're looking for a drier sound with less ring this would be the drum, now the other snare will be a little warmer and "wetter." Now as a country/ blues player I would personally choose the chrome over brass snare. Just my preference.
+Roberto Von Buchwald I love them equally, I LOOVVVVEEEE the Ludwigshafen but sadly my can't afford them. Dw steels are like in the 400s. In only 14 so j don't have much $
Hello, HDDrummer! Naturally, both are aluminum drums and are tonally similar because of that. That said, other than their aesthetic differences, they primarily differ in their hardware. The DW has a three position throwoff that allows for more fine tuning of your snare wires. Although tried and true, the P88C throwoff on the Ludwig is a bit more primitive. Thanks for the interest!

That's the best recorded snare drum I've ever heard in my life.
Andrew Holm We're glad you think so, Andrew. Indeed, this snare just sings in the studio!
I have a Dw snare black nickel over brass, but I want a Aluminum too! Very, Very good!
That snare drum sounds great, but I must say the guy playing it is awesome!
Nicks awesome
He's a handsome man.
Scott my last name is Farquhar too just wanted to say hi
Pretty sure this guy could make Fisher Price drum set sound studio-ready lol. This snare sounds AMAZING though.
u can get five different hardware colors like call a customer service rep and they will special order it from dw even the dw website has that info
I'm debating this over the Colectors Nickel over Brass. I think i'm leaning more towards this sound. What would you guys suggest?
I have a dw black nickel over brass and it is very good, but that dw aluminum is very, very, very goooood! I want one too!

My snare of choice.
I love aluminum snares.
how does metal sound compared to there maple?
It depends on what material it is, for instance in this video aluminum sounds like maple in my ear. But brass vs maple there’s a big difference
Hye Nick what heads does that have love the sound.I play surf music and really like the sound.The snare looks great
I'm hoping to get with keven at sweet waters soon and get me one
Its the stock DW snare head. But its basically a remo coated ambassador. Or Evans G1 Aquarian Textured Coated👍🏾👍🏾
Any issues with the shell denting? I heard it was a common issue.
I've had one for Almost a year now , being my main SNR... 3-4 rehearsals a week + gigs every other weekend + sessions I've yet to dent it
What's the name of those types of rim?
Hi, Nick! Which head did you use in this snare? Thanks!
How does this compare to a Supra? Same sizes?

That tuning is this, Nick? Medium or high?
