Ludwig Black Beauty 5X14 SUPRA-PHONIC Black Snare Drum

Ludwig Black Beauty 5X14 SUPRA-PHONIC BLACK BEAUTY

The LB416 snare drum for sale features a smooth reflective brass shell with classic Imperial lugs. One of the primary reasons Ludwig is "The Most Famous Name On Drums" is the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum. The drum is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn into a seamless beaded shell. However, due to their truly unique and difficult manufacturing process, only a very limited number of Black Beauties are available each year from Ludwig USA. If you are looking for an LB416, I highly suggest you pick up this one while its still in stock. 

A true 100% American original, the iconic Black Beauty drum provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often imitated, but never duplicated.
