Used Ludwig BACKBEAT Single Drum 14"

Used Ludwig Backbeat Snare Drum

Estimated Year: 2000s

Made in: China

Overview

The Ludwig Backbeat snare drum is a unique and practical design intended for low-volume practice and controlled rehearsal environments. Featuring Ludwig’s integrated internal dampening system, the Backbeat dramatically reduces volume while still allowing players to work on stick control, dynamics, and feel using a real acoustic snare shell.

This model uses a black wrapped shell with chrome hardware and includes an internal mesh dampening strap system that limits resonance and sustain. It’s a great option for apartment practice, backstage warmups, teaching studios, or any situation where volume control is essential without switching to a rubber practice pad.
