Description

Ludwig Black Beauty 14″ x 5″ Hammered Brass Snare Drum – Imperial Lugs. This 14 x 5-inch model keeps the quick response of the shallow Black Beauty but alters the overtone pattern through shell hammering. It has enough warm brass body for a main backbeat, with a prompt finish that suits detailed playing.

Shell and Sound:

Ludwig’s 1.2mm seamless brass shell is hammered rather than left smooth. The worked surface adds complexity to the metallic note while the 5-inch depth keeps the drum direct and articulate.

Hardware and Response:

Imperial lugs retain the familiar Ludwig outline. The steel triple-flanged hoops let the head move naturally, keeping the rimshot lively without concentrating it as tightly as a die-cast hoop.
