The Ludwig Hot Rod Black Beauty 14 x 6.5'' Snare Drum is a seamless, 1.2mm brass drum that looks incredible. The brass construction offers a musical, warm profile - open highs with vibrant mids and lows. to focus this, copper die-cast hoops with 10 lugs hold tuning easily, whilst simultaneously controlling the resonance slightly more than a triple-flanged would. The copper color also looks stunning against the matte black shell. • 6.5x14 shell • Seamless 1.2mm brass drum • Copper die-cast hoops • Copper tube lugs • Matte black shell • Warm profile, open highs with vibrant mids and lows
