Ludwig LB416BT Black Beauty 5"x14" Snare Drum with Brass Hardware

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.

This special model Beauty is 5"x14" with brass die-cast hoops, brass tube lugs, and a brass-plated throw off and butt plate.

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