Sound Pure's Take

Ludwig's Black Magic series brings the classic thin brass snare drum sound to an all-new affordable price point. Starting with a 1mm black nickel plated brass shell, the welded shell brings tone and sensitivity with ease. The 8x14 shell delivers full-bodied notes pefect for backbeats and ballads. Complemented with the chrome hardware and the classic tube lugs, this drum brings all of the stylings of the Black Beauty without the price. Whether you are a live player or studio player, the Black Magic series has the sizes and sounds to take your project to the next level.

From Ludwig

Ludwig poineered the black-nickel over brass shell concept in the early 1920's, setting a standard that all others would follow. Black Magic Snare Drums bring that signature sound and quality to a whole new playing spectrum, with four models to satisfy any playing situation. Accentuated with matching tube lugs and die-cast hoops, Black Magic snares deliver classic tone that drummers have come to expect from Ludwig.
