Drums Ludwig Snare Drums | Ludwig Black Beauty 8-Lug Brass Snare Drum 14 X 6.5 In.

For Over A Century, The Ludwig Black Beauty Has Been The Industry Standard For Tone And Purity In A Metal Snare Drum. This Brass Model Takes The Series Back To Its Roots, When The Original Black Beauty Was Created In 1920 With Only Eight Lugs, To Create A Larger “Sweet Spot” On The Playing Surface. This 8-Lug Configuration Allows For A Wider Range Of Tones On The Edges While Creating A More Forgiving Center, Making Sure The Backbeats Stay Crisp, Clear And Consistent With Each Hit. It’S An Excellent Addition To Any High-End Collection, Or A Trusty Centerpiece To Build A New Kit Around.

This 8-Lug Black Beauty Snare Drum Is Built From A Seamless Brass Shell, Made In The Usa And, Of Course, Painstakingly Plated With Black Nickel. The Shell Is Fitted With 2.3 Mm Triple Flange Hoops For A Sharp Attack And Easy Resonance. The Tension Rods Are Anchored To A Single Row Of Those Eight Recognizable Ludwig Bridge Lugs. The Snare Is Outfitted With Iconic Ludwig “Weather Master” Heads And Their Proprietary P88 Throw Off And P35 Die-Cast Butt Plate.
