I was in the market for a new Maple snare and I knew it was going to be Ludwig since they’re my favourite drum company. I came across this Standard Maple snare, saw the price and instantly went to my local store and ordered one. It’s made in the USA so I knew it was top notch from the beginning, when it arrived I opened up the box and was completely blown away with the Ebony veneer, bearing edges, and overall craftsmanship. The sound is warm, bright, and has a solid knock if you tune the drum lower. Higher tuning has a solid pop with a nice piercing crack, the tuning range is wide and I’d say it’s a extremely versatile drum overall. Very sensitive snare I have to admit, the stock heads sound great as well. I’ll probably throw a Remo Black Dot on it once the stock head is worn out. Overall I highly recommend this snare if you need a wood drum for your arsenal! The Most Famous Name On Drums. Ludwig for life.

I've been play drums for over 30 years now (Yikes!) and have several high end snare drums, including two other Ludwigs. The wife bought me this little number for Christmas. Boy what a refreshing modern day snare this is! Bright, crisp, focused and a lovely warm tone all project from this snare. It's made with typical high quality Ludwig components and sounds better than some of my other snares that are twice as much! WOW! I couldn't recommend this enough for some one wanting a maple snare at reasonable cost - plus it's on sale right now!

Amazing value. This is a genuine Ludwig maple snare made in the USA and it sounds like it. They did cut a few corners to achieve that price point. Instead of a lacquer or wrap finish, the outer later of the shell is a nice looking satiny veneer. I'm fine with that, I'd buy the rest of the kit if they made it. The snare wires however are as cheap as they come, exact same thing you'll find for 15$ from Stagg or Cannon, attached with plastic straps. Throw this out right away. I put Puresound Super 30 on mine with the mounting wires that came with it. Still amazing value even after the extra 30-40$ for new wires. Also, while the throw off is the new improved Atlas, the butt plate is the old style that uses philips screws to hold the snares (does not work with a drum key like the throw off side does). Not really a big deal, just make sure to carry a screwdriver with you (my other snare is a 1968 Acrolite so I have to do this anyway) The heads appear to be proper US-made Remo (glued collar, not crimped). That said, with a fairly thin 6.5" deep maple shell and sharp 45 degrees bearing edges, this thing can ring a LOT, so I still replaced the top head with an Emperor Vintage. It's amazingly fat now, and still has a distinct Ludwig personality.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
