Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum with legendary appeal
The Ludwig LB417 Black Beauty Snaredrum is a 14" x 6,5" snare drum that has long held a respected place among metal snares. Ludwig builds this drum from a single sheet of brass that is machine formed into a seamless shell with the well-known beaded center. Because of that difficult production process, only a limited number of Black Beauty snare drums are made each year.
The black nickel plated finish gives this Ludwig Black Beauty its classic look. Combined with the 14" x 6,5" size, you get a snare drum that stands out in appearance as well as character.
Brass shell with warm, rounded metal tone
The 1.2 mm seamless brass shell gives this Ludwig snare the warm, rounded metal tone the Black Beauty is known for. Ludwig describes it as a true American original, a sound often imitated but not duplicated.
The 2.3 mm steel triple flanged hoops and 10 lugs complete the build. If you are looking for a Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum with the classic combination of a seamless brass shell, black nickel finish and familiar hardware, the LB417 is a strong choice.
