Acoustic Snare Classics

Acoustic Snare Classics includes 11 acoustic snare drums, recorded specifically for Sensory Percussion 2. It spans studio workhorses, vintage Ludwigs, and a few harder-to-find pieces, covering a wide range of tones, from bright and cracking to fat and dark.

The drums come from the personal collections of the EVANS team. They include Ludwig staples like the Supraphonic and Acrolite, several Tama snares, and a Gretsch Bell Brass. Everything was recorded at VuDu Studios on Long Island, NY.
