Title: Great replacement for older Ludwig strainers
Review: 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.

Title: Throw is fantastic, the butt is frustrating, proceed with caution.
Review: The throw is a fantastic upgrade over a P85. Zero complaints, looks the part and functionally massive update.The butt is another story. It isn’t drilled to fit as a replacement for the p32 butt plate. More specifically, it isn’t tapped for screw threads, even though there is a hole in exactly the right spot hidden under the rubber grommet thing. Seems like maybe the spacing on older drums wasn’t consistent enough or something where they didn’t want to sell this as a guaranteed match? I don’t know, but at any rate be sure you know the spacing on what you’re upgrading from, and if it’s the p32 like on an old acrolite, you’re either throwing the new butt plate in the trash and having a weird stylistic mismatch, or you’re gonna have to buy a drill tap and add the threading yourself. It’s not super difficult but it’s also not real easy if you’ve never done it.I’ve upgraded two acrolites with this kit, mine and a friend’s. I ruined my butt plate and the second one is only sorta ok, didn’t end up holding rock solid but my buddy thought it was good enough. It seems to be holding fine so far. For mine, I just bought an Inde Universal butt plate and I can’t recommend it enough - vastly better design, can adapt to a wide range of hole spacing, looks and functions great.Long story short - I really like this strainer, but be prepared to buy a different butt plate or keep your old one on unless you’re sure that you actually have a match on the spacing. Ludwig should really consider a redesign on this as it makes this kit partially useless for a whole lot of their drums that people might want to upgrade.

Title: Must-have for vintage Ludwig retrofitting.
Review: 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.

Title: Essential
Review: I’ve tolerated the P85 throw-off on my 5x14 chrome-over-brass Supraphonic for a long time, but it’s always stuck when trying to engage and disengage snares mid-performance. This throw-off is smooth as butter. Effortless motion, and the stepped tension adjustment is very precise. Not only that, but the snare response on my drum is now vastly improved. So much more sensitivity, warmth, and body from the snares than before. I’m still using the stock Ludwig snares and bottom head, with a Fiberskyn Diplomat on the batter. Incredible sound and feel. No problems installing the included butt plate on my drum, either. No discernible performance improvements there, but I like the look of it better.It’s a shame that Ludwig doesn’t make this the default throw-off for all of their snare drums, but this upgrade is absolutely essential. It’s like having a whole new drum. A must!

Title: Great replacement for Acrolite minus the butt plate
Review: my 70s Acrolite strainer broke and I just replaced it with this one it actually made the drum function better.Didn't want to add holes to the shell for the butt plate as the hole spacing is different on the original butt plate.

Review: Much better than the original throw on my Supraphonic and a straight swap (just had to slightly file/enlargen the fitting holes on my snare but only a fraction).Keeps the tension better than the original, which tended to loosen slightly whilst playing.

Review: いくら叩いても緩まないのは良い。長年の悩みが解決された思いです。一点だけ、P-32との互換性はなかったのでそこは説明文を訂正すべきと思う。
