A great opportunity to get a PreLoved bargain!

One of the primary reasons Ludwig is The Most Famous Name On Drums is the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum. The Black Beauty is one of the most recorded snare drums of all time. The Black Beauty is constantly requested by A list record producers across the globe for their recording sessions. Many professional drummers regardless of endorsements also have at least one if not a few models of the Black Beauty as apart of their snare collections.

The Black Beauty is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn into a seamless beaded shell. 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. 

The LB416KT shown here is a drum we specially ordered in to the UK. The LB416KT has a 14 x 5 hammered beaded brass shell, 2.3mm Hoops, Chrome Tube Lugs and the new P88AC Throw Off. The K stands for Hammered shell, that Hammering helps to dry up the unwanted high overtones and better focus the midrange tone. These drums are lots of fun to play and incredibly quick and easy to get a top flight sound out off, the hammering also gives the drum a really great look.
