Ludwig Black Beauty Snare Drums

Call 773-878-8616

Black Beauty Snare Drums are one of the primary reasons Ludwig is “the most famous name on drums”.  Timeless beauty and untimatet performance are the hallmark of the Black Beauty. The Black Beauty brass shell is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn and spun into a seamless beaded drum, then black nickel plated with a beautifully exquisite finish. The shell provides a warm, round metallic tone.

With any of the three strainer options of P85 Supra-Phonic, P86 Millenium or P70 Super-Sensitive strainers, the Black Beauty responds with excellent sensitivity at all volumes. Choose from Imperial or tube lugs, die cast or triple-flanged hoops, and a smooth or hand hammered shell. The 70 year tradition of the Ludwig Black Beauty carries on as the ultimate snare drum in the industry.  These are one of the most poplar snare drums.  Pick up a set today, you won't be disappointed.
