One of the reasons Ludwig is self-proclaimed The Most Famous Name On Drums is thanks to the legendary Black Beauty snare drum. This snare is one of the most recorded snare drums of all time and is at the top of the wish list of artists and record producers around the world for their recording sessions. No doubt that one of your favorite records will feature the Black Beauty as well!

The Black Beauty is made from a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn into a seamless shell. Due to the precision required in the process, this is a unique, complex and very time-consuming manufacturing process and therefor, this snare drum is only manufactured by Ludwig in small numbers. As a result, each Black Beauty is made with the utmost care and partly by hand in Monroe and they are scarce on today's market.

There are quite a few different versions of the Black Beauty available nowadays, but the LB416, 14x5" with imperial lugs is an ultimate classic and the professional standard. A snaredrum that deserves a spot in every drummers' collection for sure!

Key features:
- 14x5"
- 1.2 mm seamless "drawn" brass shell with black nickel plating
- 2.3 mm steel triple flange hoops
- P88AC throw off
- P35P butt plate
- Ludwig Weather Master Heavy coated percussion sheet
