Ludwig Acrolite or Ludwig Standard Aluminum - which is better?
With Ludwig acrolite prices on the rise with no signs of stopping, more drummers are gravitating towards the cheaper model - the Ludwig standard aluminum s-102 snare. Both are raw aluminum shells, with 8 lugs and triple-flanged hoops, but do they sound the same? In this #snaresaturday video it's time to find out and determine which drum is better - the cult classic Ludwig Acrolite, or the younger sibling Ludwig Standard Aluminum!

    That metal rod on the inside was for the parallel release mechanism. It allowed the snare wires to “ kiss” the bottom head along its full length at the exact same time, and when you would release the snares, they would fall away from the drum, perfectly parallel to the bottom head, and when you engaged the snare strainer again, the entire length of the wires would kiss the bottom head of the snare drum Simultaneously like I stated above

    I noticed that when you are loading the sounds into the kit, you had multiple velocities for each drum on your card. Is it possible to load all the multi-velocity samples into one drum, or does the TD-17 only allow you to upload a single sample and adjust its dynamics by changing the volume? Alternatively, can you upload multiple velocity samples into one drum for round-robin sampling, similar to how a trigger would work?

    Can you do a video of Lugwig 14”x 5” Questlove Snare is it worth it. Or can I up grade the snare wire or hoops. Wood or 2.3mm hoops chrome. I now this drum has potential I can make it sound better. I have batter side coated control by Remo and button the clear head that came with it. It’s sound nice but I feel something is missing. I have a cheap 10”x 6” snare by Griffin I up grade this snare top hoops to 2.3 Chrome hoops. And replaced the wire to 16 wire. Remo coated control. This baby really sings it’s my mean snare now. Even with clear dot by remo sounds beautiful. I know that the Lugwig can sound great if I up grade it.
