Good throw-off but...
Asiko 10.03.2021
I replaced the old and idiotic mechanism on a Ludwig Maple 14x6.5 from the seventies. This mechanism is definitely better than the Ludwig one, but it has two disadvantages:

1. There is no rubber between the throw-off and the shell, so the steel basically sits on the wood which is probably not ideal for the wood. I assume it will leave scratches on the shell in the long run.

2. The bottom part of the throw-off, which holds the straps/strings of the snare wires, sits on a weird swiveling axis. Maybe some drummers see this an advantage, but I think it's not good because it moves freely when you play or when your knee touches it, and that basically changes the position of the wires and the tension. I don't really understand the sense behind the decision to leave it loose.

All in all, it's an okay product, and I bought it because it's the only throw-off that has the right hole spacing for the old Ludwigs (apart from Trick throw-offs which are expensive and hard to find in Europe). If it wasn't for the hole spacing issue, I'd opt for a different one - probably a DW or a Pearl.

Snare wire problems... over!

I bought this product as a replacement of a Mapex snare strainer that was allways getting loose. Solved it.

If you have a Ludwig snare and you are suffering with the original Ludwig throw offs, well, I have good news for you. The SC 4L will definitely be a game changer for you. One of the best throw offs I've ever used. If you are in need, this is a no brainer.

Fast perfekt...
Jochen902 27.12.2013
Die Mechanik funktioniert sehr gut. Die Snare-spannung lsst sich sehr gut einstellen und wenn man schnell mal während des Spielens die Snares etwas fester oder lockerer mach möchte, brauch man nur die gesamte Hebelage verdrehen - finde ich sehr praktisch. Einzig die Bohrungen meiner Ludwig Supra Phonic (LM402) waren etwas zu weit auseinander, so dass ich ein zusätzliches Loch in den Kessel bohren musste.
Daher 4 Sterne für die Verarbeitung. Stabilität ist ansonsten aber super.
Ich habe das Teil allerdings erst seit Kurzem im Einsatz und kann daher keine Langzeiterfahrungen zum Besten geben.

Bis jetzt bin ich sehr, sehr zufrieden!
