The Ludwig Alex Van Halen Signature Ltd Ed 14'' x 6.5'' Supraphonic Snare is an exact replicate of the snare Alex used on his 'A Different Kind Of Truth' tour, down to the heads and the snare wires. The snare is fitted with a unique Alex Van Halen Remo Emperor X Batter Head, and a Remo Ambassador Snare Side Head. These are the same heads that Alex used to record and tour their newest album. The snare also features a copper P86 throw-off and a copper P85AC butt plate, which work together to increase the ease of tuning the drum.
