Ludwig Signature Snare COREY MILLER
Laser-engraved with hand-drawn pieces of his tattoo flash, Corey Miller's snare features a white powder-coated, 6.5x14" steel shell that performs with high end brightness and power.
Features
- Chrome tube lugs
- 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops.
- 6.5x14" [LW6514CM]
It's a 1.5mm steel shelled drum, powder-coated in white both outside and in. Hoops are 2.3mm triple-flanged and there are 10 chrome-over-brass tube lugs.
Corey is better known for his tattoos than his punk drumming, and his drum is laser-engraved with hand-drawn samples of his trademark rose and dragon designs. It's a cool looking drum, especially if you get Corey's full Ludwig kit and tattooed Remo heads to accompany it.
The Corey Miller has steel washers under the tension rods. It features the same conventional throw-off - a familiar generic model - as the Kramer and Ludwig's other new snare, The Brick.
It's solid and works a treat. But could Ludwig not have at least put its name on there somewhere, particularly on the relatively expensive signature drums? It rather cheapens what are otherwise typically impressive Ludwig snares.
Hands on
Steel is probably the brightest, most penetrating of shell materials. The white powder coating Miller's drum has both inside and out makes it ultra-reflective.
The outcome is a hollow, oil drum sort of clang. It still rings, even when struck dead centre without rim-shotting. It looks pretty but is designed to be offensive - in the nicest possible way - to crash through the nastiest of punk.
