Ludwig Black Beauty Snare Drum 14x5 8-Lug B-Stock

The Legendary Ludwig Black Beauty Snare Sound - Unrestrained!

The legacy of the Ludwig Black Beauty Snare Drum speaks for itself. Whether you're playing live in a small jazz venue, or in front of thousands at an outdoor festival, the LB416 fits the bill. Its iconic crack can be heard on your favorite recordings as far back as you can remember. It's versatile, elegant and a reliable workhorse. Today, you can UNLEASH the classic tone of the Ludwig Black Beauty with the NEW LB414 8-Lug model! Less lugs means a more open sound with just the right amount of overtones to stand out on stage or in the studio. This is an example where less really is more!

Ludwig B-stock snare drums come from Ludwig with cosmetic flaws, some more noticeable than others. The drums are structurally sound - shells are round, strainers engage, and tension rods thread straight - but each drum may have minor plating imperfections, scratches/scuffs, signs of demo use/handling, or other minor issues. We try to capture the most offensive blemishes in the images, and sometimes even those are hard to locate. These drums are sold 'as-is', and all imperfections are not covered under warranty.
