If you know drums, you know the Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum – it’s that legendary.
With its 1.2mm seamless brass shell, black nickel plating, and iconic beaded design, the Ludwig Black Beauty 14x6.5 snare drum delivers that classic, round metallic tone drummers dream about. Crank it up for a crisp, cracking attack or tune it down low for that deep, swampy groove. This snare has been the go-to choice for over 80 years – and for good reason.
This model comes loaded with 2.3mm flanged hoops, classic Imperial lugs, and the smooth P88AC throw off. Whether you’re gigging, recording, or collecting, the Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum is a smart investment for any serious drummer.
