The Ludwig Galaxy Snare Drum Kit is built around the legendary Ludwig LM404 Acrolite, renowned for its dry, focused tone and unmatched tuning flexibility. Originally conceived as a premium student snare, the Acrolite has since become a professional mainstay—favored in studios, live stages, and school programs alike.
At the heart of the kit is the Black Galaxy variant, affectionately dubbed the “Blackrolite,” featuring a seamless aluminum shell with a rugged, powder-coated sparkle finish that withstands the rigors of touring, rehearsals, and recording sessions. Whether tuned high for crisp funk-style articulation or dropped low for punchy rock backbeats, the Galaxy snare adapts effortlessly to your style.
Designed as an all-in-one practice and performance solution, this outfit includes essential hardware, transport protection, and a pair of Ludwig 2B drumsticks—ready for students, educators, and working drummers. With its controlled volume and dry timbre, it’s especially suited for recording applications, offering a mix-ready snare sound that blends seamlessly into any session or ensemble.
