Overview

The Bead King™ is an all aluminum, CNC machined adapter that is designed to retro-fit throw offs using the 7/8" hole spacing to beaded snares that typically use the traditional Ludwig hole spacing range of 2.00" to 2 11/16".

The Bead King™ Beaded Snare adapter is made from machined aluminum, weighing less than 1 ounce, and the mounting side matches the curvature of the snare drum. This design detail provides a perfect fit against the shell. The introduction of the Bead King™ now gives drummers the ability to retro-fit any NATO family throw off, or other throw offs to their favorite beaded snare.
