A true American original, the Ludwig 6.5x14" Black Beauty Supraphonic Snare Drum provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often imitated, but never duplicated. This particular model sports tube lugs, reducing the overall mass of the drum. "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. Get yours. • MFSKU LB417T • UPC
