Only 140 of these models will be produced, so don't hesitate to get your hands – and sticks! – on this rare gem!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo many, Ludwig is the most recognizable name in percussion purely because of one drum - the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum. The seamless 1.2mm brass shell is machine drawn and spun into a seamless beaded drum before being finished with gorgeous black nickel plating. The shell speaks with an unmistakable round metallic tone. Tune it up high for a clean, piercing crack. Tune it loose and low for a fat, swampy backbeat. For over 80 years, this snare drum has been an industry standard. Now is the perfect time to own an American classic!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ludwig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51529162457370,"sku":"LB417ST","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/drumcenternh.com\/collections\/ludwig-black-beauty-snare-drums.oembed?page=4","provider":"Drum Center Of Portsmouth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
