## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality throw, but the buttplate holes dont match original drilled holes
*by N***H on April 30, 2025*

The throw itself is an amazing upgrade to my acrolite. Very smooth action and a really cool addition in the way the tension knob has incremental stops built in. The buttplate did not fit the existing holes and I had to go through Ludwig to rectify the situation. Not pleased w them either as the buttplate that comes w the throw matches but they’re "fix" does not.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-have for vintage Ludwig retrofitting.
*by D***O on November 27, 2023*

I have two vintage Supraphonics that are my primary work-horses. They are vintage, but not in perfect condition, and the original snare mechanisms are not optimal. Retrofitting both snares with this unit was a massive upgrade, super easy to install and so much more functional than the original.If these snares were in mint condition, I might not retrofit them, but these are "daily driver" snare drums, not showroom pieces. I need them to WORK. They are way more reliable now. Highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great replacement for older Ludwig strainers
*by S***T on April 17, 2023*

This is the second one I've purchased. The first one went on an early 80s Supraphonic which had a P85 strainer in poor condition. The second one went on a late 70s Acrolite which had a 12 hole P85 strainer. I don't always use wires that use snare cables, and I like to be able to use whatever option I want on most of my snares. These are just a modern take of the Ludwig classic design. They seem to be way more robust to me, and I like the throw off feel.One thing to keep in mind is that if you are swapping for an older drum, the butt plate will not fit without drilling additional holes in the shell. In my case the original butt plates were still in good shape and worked for my application.I feel like these are a pretty good value considering the cost of many other strainers out there for beaded snare drums. If I get any other older Ludwigs I will probably consider swapping out for one of these if they have an older P85.
