Ludwig Black Beauty 6.5x14 Snare Drum - Black Nickel

What goes into creating one of the most revered and recorded musical instruments of the past century? If you ask Ludwig, maker of the legendary Black Beauty snare drum, it all starts with the shell. Every Black Beauty USA snare is precision-formed from a single sheet of solid brass before being dressed in decadent black nickel plating. The result? Unmatched sensitivity and a rich, focused tone that cuts through a mix like nothing else. Today’s Black Beauty comes outfitted with 2.3mm triple-flanged steel hoops and Ludwig’s P88AC throw off for precision handling, no matter the genre of music. Heritage appointments include a Keystone badge and Imperial lugs for an instantly recognizable look.
