Ludwig Black Beauty 8 Lug 14" x 5” Snare Drum w/Imperial Lugs

Ludwig Black Beauty's are a timeless classic. They have had a lengthy history as one of the most infamous snare drums to exist and the warm tone they provide has always stood out from the competition. Ludwig have newly released an 8 lug variant of the iconic drum to further meet the outcry of drummers, desperate for that famous sound. 8 lug snare drums emphasise 'vintage' tones by providing a lower tuning range. For drummers looking for that 'phat' sounding snare drum, be sure to check out the 8 lug Black Beauty's, offering depths of 5" and 6.5". The classic black chrome over brass formula has been kept for this drum, as well as the P85 supraphonic snare strainer and triple flanged hoops.

Here's what Ludwig have to say.. 

"The industry’s most revered snare drum takes on a new standard configuration! Introducing the new Black Beauty 8-lug. This drum is outfitted with standard Phonic series hardware: imperial lugs, 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops, P88 throw-off, and P35 butt-plate. This traditional lug configuration results in a drum with an elevated response that brings out a grittier tone with an enhanced presence in the sustain.

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.

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