One of the primary reasons Ludwig is The Most Famous Name In Drums is the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum. The drum is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn and spun into a seamless beaded shell, hammered, then nickel-plated with a beautifully exquisite finish. A true American original, the Black Beauty provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often imitated, but never duplicated. However, due to their truly unique and difficult manufacturing process, only a very limited number of Black Beauties is available each year from Ludwig USA.
Ludwig’s B-stock snares sound, play, and function exactly the same as their A-stock snares. They function perfectly. The shell’s finish just didn’t pass the 100% perfect test so there will be some minor imperfections in the finish. All working parts have full warranty.
