Ludwig LB417KBT Black Beauty Snare Drum 14x6.5 Hammered w/Brass Trim

This is a UNICORN. Get it while you can...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 80 years, this snare drum has been an industry standard. Now is the perfect time to own an American classic! This special model Beauty is a Hammered 6.5x14 with brass die-cast hoops, brass tube lugs, and a brass-plated P88 throw off.
