The legendary Black Beauty snare drum from Ludwig is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn and spun into a seamless beaded shell, then nickel-plated with a beautifully exquisite finish. An American original, the Black Beauty provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often imitated, but never duplicated. This model features tube lugs for a precise and sure tune, while SupraPhonic snare wires aid the classic Black Beauty attack. A Road Runner Boulevard II Series drum bag is also included for keeping the snare safe from dings, dents, scratches, scuffs and everyday wear and tear.
