This is a special one! Ludwig has released a very limited run of their iconic 14x6.5 Black Beauty snare drum in an elegant satin black nickel finish, adorned with nickel-plated tube lugs, single-flanged hoops, P88 throw-off, P35 butt plate, and a Limited Edition badge. A very limited number of these models will be produced, so don't hesitate to get your hands – and sticks – on this rare gem!
This is a B-stock model that may show the odd finish flaw or blemish. Any defects are purely cosmetic and do not affect the sound or structural integrity of the drum. (The image shows an example of one such imperfection. Such anomalies will vary from drum to drum.)
This is a great chance to save BIG on this amazing snare drum!
To many, Ludwig is the most recognizable name in percussion purely because of one drum - the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum. The seamless 1.2mm brass shell is machine drawn and spun into a seamless beaded drum before being finished with gorgeous black nickel plating. The shell speaks with an unmistakable round metallic tone. Tune it up high for a clean, piercing crack. Tune it loose and low for a fat, swampy backbeat. For over 100 years, this snare drum has been an industry standard. Now is the perfect time to own an American classic!
