Ever wonder why Ludwig is considered The Most Famous Name In Drums? It's primarily because of the legendary Black Beauty snare drum. The legend starts with a single sheet of brass. It's machine drawn and spun into a seamless beaded shell, then nickel plated to an exquisite finish. An American classic, the Black Beauty delivers a warm, fat, metallic tone that cuts through a thick mix like nothing else. Fitted with Ludwig's P85 Supraphonic strainer, the Black Beauty is super responsive, no matter how hard or soft you hit it. Due to a complicated manufacturing process, they're not easy to make, so the Black Beauty is only available in limited quantities each year from Ludwig USA.
