Ludwig Black Beauty 14x5 Hammered Brass Snare Drum with Tube Lugs
The Ludwig Black Beauty Snare Drum stands as an iconic choice among professional and working drummers worldwide. Built from a seamless 1.2mm brass shell with black nickel plating, this drum delivers the signature round, metallic tone that has defined Ludwig's legacy for generations. The hammered 14x5 shell construction provides a warmer, more controlled response while maintaining the cutting projection that cuts through live performance settings.
This snare excels across a wide range of tuning options—crank it high for a bright, piercing crack or dial it back for a deeper, fatter backbeat with character. The combination of 2.3mm flanged hoops, tube lugs, and the P88AC throw-off mechanism creates a responsive, reliable instrument built to endure years of gigging and studio work.
