A True Sleeper Snare!

13X6 is nice size. I always thought Ludwig should make a Supra in this size, but sounds like the Supralite has it covered.

I wanted a 13" Black Beauty. Almost settled for the 13" Universal Brass a few times, but knew I would still want a Black Beauty.
Didn't seem like Ludwig was inclined to make it, so I got a 14x6.5 BB and am very happy with it.
I still like 13" snares though and have several of them.

I still think the Supralite sounds as good as any of them in that vid.

I really try to take my Ludwig fanboy tendencies out of it but I'm always surprised by just how good the Supralite sounds. I've owned one and I can say that they're really easy to dial in to sounding that good too, there's no magic or luck involved. Now that they have the P-88 throw off they're a stupid great drum for a stupid great price.

Hey, have you ever heard the Ludwig Backbeat snare? I couldn’t find but one demo and the player was playing like an orchestral drummer and I couldn’t get a fix on it. Steel with 6.5 depth and a buck fiddy but GC has them on sale for a buck no fiddy. Very plain shell but has bow ties, which I like better than tube lugs.

Sometimes I think I should get a second snare, but I’m so spoiled by mine that I really don’t want to play anything else.

If I wasn’t moving I’d have already pulled the trigger. Maybe. Might be a little too much like mine.

Honestly, these new Supralites don't come with any cheap hardware. The brass tube lugs are standard issue. It comes with 2.3mm hoops, brass snare wires, and the throwoff and butt plate are pro-level.

I think there's a good chance that Ludwig will raise the price on the Supralites soon. I'm surprised they didn't do it already.

This thread came up when I was searching the forum today.
The 6x13 is still available on the GC with the 19% sale price in case anyone is interested.
The price of all the other sizes have recently increased.
