The Ludwig Black Beauty has been an industry standard for decades. Its thin spun brass shell has blessed countless records and concert halls with sonic bliss to excite the ears.
The Black Beauty features a spun, seamless, beaded brass shell with black nickel plating. This stunning shell lays the groundwork for the rest of the drum. It delivers a sharp, full-bodied sound with articulate ghost notes, an unbelievably pronounced rimshot, and an overall clarity and projection that can’t be matched. For the LB416BT, Ludwig added die-cast hoops on top and bottom and the Millenium strainer to complete the package. The addition of these hoops brings a little more focus to the player's perspective as well as enhancing your rim shots and we love the way this drum performs.
Whether you use this drum for live playing or session work, this drum has an enhanced crispness that will have finding new excuses to get behind the kit and play. Check out the Ludwig LB416BT Black Beauty snare drum today!
