Product Description
Demo/new old stock model. There are some fingerprints and light scuffs/scratches on the black nickel plating from demo use and cleaning, but the scuffs are not visible from even a few feet away. Factory heads and wires are like new!
To 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! This is the classic Beauty - 5x14 with 2.3mm flanged hoops, Imperial lugs and the P88AC throw off. This is one investment that is a no-brainer for the working drummer.
