The Ludwig Black Beauty 14" x 5" Snare Drum is a drum kit built to help you get a full, musical drum sound — supplied as genuine Australian stock with local warranty. One of the primary reasons Ludwig is "The Most Famous Name On Drums" is the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Get a full, musical drum sound — the drum is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn into a seamless beaded shell.
  • Enjoy great feel under the sticks — however, due to their truly unique and difficult manufacturing process, only a very limited number of Black Beauties are available each year…
  • Tune it your way — a true American original, the Black Beauty provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often imitated, but never duplicated.
  • Built for gigs and practice — 14-inch size.
