As an offshoot of the Ludwig Standard metal snare thread - let's see what folks think of these:
I'll go first! :)
Ludwig:
Acro's; Ludwig's student model for eons... everyone should have at least one in their pile. I have quite a few of these in various finishes: Ludaalloy (aluminum), painted grey, Blackrolite (the black painted model with slight glitter), etc... These are badged Keystone, B/O and B/W (USA) depending on the model. All are eight lug, bowties.
Standard's: Wood, and aluminum (Ludalloy), some are chrome over Ludalloy. Eight Standard lugs. Another gotta have, especially the wood models. All three of my wood models have white interiors
S/L and Rocker's; Some are badged B/W (USA), some B/O. All I've seen are CoW, most with eight Standard / Rocker lugs, some with bowties. Every one of these that I own are 'LOUD'. Granite-tone interior.
Slingerland:
Deluxe Student Model; I've got a mid 60's, six lug wood model. A five dollar yard sale find with the hard case, music stand, snare stand and sticks. It's a nearly perfect WMP... bright and shines. The drum sounds incredible; a bit more 'open' than it's higher classed 8 lug cousin. It does tend to ring.
That's it for me. That's all the student drums I own. What's your opinion on yours?
