Ludwig Black Beauty 6.5-inch x 14-inch Snare Drum - Black Nickel with Imperial Lugs

Ludwig Black Beauty 6.5-inch x 14-inch Snare Drum - Black Nickel with Imperial Lugs

One of the primary reasons Ludwig is "The Most Famous Name On Drums" is the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum. The drum is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn into a seamless beaded shell. However, due to their truly unique and difficult manufacturing process, only a very limited number of Black Beauties are available each year from Ludwig USA.

A true American original, the Black Beauty provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often imitated, but never duplicated.
