What We Think

Lively tones and crisp articulation abound in this offering from Ludwig. Black Magic drums draw much of their inspiration from the classic Black Beauty line, while putting a modern twist on a classic brass sound. The flanged hoops on this drum lend to an open, lively tone, while the thin shell allows for plenty of attack. The drum's incredibly affordable price point causes one to wonder of Ludwig utilized actual black magic in the making of this beautiful-sounding snare.

About Manufacturer

Touted as “the most famous name on drums,” Ludwig stands today as one of the most legendary and revered American drum manufacturers of all time. Founded in 1909 under the name Ludwig & Ludwig, the company has existed under a number of different owners and names, with the Ludwig brand operating today as a subsidiary of Conn-Selmer. Throughout almost 110 years of change, one thing has remained constant: Ludwig’s dedication to building high-quality drums with that signature Ludwig tone. Over the years, Ludwig drums have laid down solid backbeats and infectious grooves at the hands of drummers like John Densmore, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, and of course, Ringo Starr. Their iconic kits from the 60s and 70s remain highly coveted by collectors and players alike, but their new offerings continue to uphold the legendary Ludwig name just the same.
