Ludwig Black Beauty Snare Drum

A Ludwig tradition for over 70 years.

The Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum is considered one of the most desirable drums ever made. The seamless, one-piece brass beaded shell provides the legendary, balanced, metallic yet warm sound and ease of tuning that this classic drum is famous for, while the snares and classic P-85 snare throw-off provide the unmatched sensitivity professionals demand. The antique black anodized shell, chrome hardware and imperial lugs make the Black Beauty strikingly beautiful.

If you need even more volume and presence, this 14×6.5″ snare is for you. It delivers meaty rimshots with clarity and projection when slammed, but still retains ultimate sensitivity when lightly tapped.
