Key Features
The Ludwig Jazz Fest 14x 5.5'' Vintage Black Oyster Snare drum is a classic snare drum created by Ludwig. Boasting quality in look and sound, it is impossible not to fall in love with its vintage aesthetic. Crafted from a mahogany shell and a black oyster finish, the Ludwig Jazz Fest snare is reminiscent of the 60s era Ludwig jazz snare drums. The Ludwig Jazz fest 14 x 5.5 projects a high-pitched crisp sound with an immense amount of depth, allowing for powerful snare hits and clear ghost notes - striking a nice balance of the two.
Many aspects of this snare are a homage to the history of The Ludwig Jazz Fest Series combined with a modern edge, from the featured 1963 eighteen stand snare wires to the 3 step tone control, allowing you to control and define your snare sound. Ideal for drummers and enthusiasts alike, the Ludwig Jazz Fest will certainly deliver something extra special.
Nearly New: This product may have been opened for quality control purposes, returned by a customer, refurbished, or may have non-essential parts or software missing. Otherwise, the product operates as new. This is a great opportunity to buy a fully functioning product at a discounted price.

One of the many stand out features of the Ludwig Jazz Fest is the twin lug tuning. Featuring separate lugs for both resonant and batter head. This provides an immense amount of control over your snare sound, delivering the ability to tune both drum heads to different tensions without affecting the other. The aesthetic of the Ludwig Jazz Fest lugs also features subtle embellishments providing a classic snare drum look. Whilst the 3-step tone control provides tone precision, enabling you to muffle snare drum tones further, dampening the drum sound to suit.
The mahogany shell is constructed from a durable 3 ply wood combination. This includes 1 ply mahogany followed by 1ply poplar and finished off with another ply of Mahogany. This construction provides a smooth mid-range with an ear-catching rich low end to add a unique vibrancy. Combined with the boosted low-end warmth of the inner poplar layer, this mix is a match made in heaven. Ludwig has also applied a white reso-coat interior to this snare, adding a subtle vintage look to the snare drum.
