Ludwig 5.5x14" Black Magic Brass Snare Drum

Description

Everything about the Ludwig Black Magic snare drum points to Ludwig's legendary Black Beauty snare drums: from the beaded black nickel-over-brass shell to the tube lugs and spirit trapped within. But this beauty of a snare is available at a working drummer's price. Its thinner, welded (rather than hand-spun) shell and low-mass hardware invoke a crisper, breathier version of the classic Black Beauty body and attack. All the other qualities you love in the BB are intact: the Black Magic's voice is full, its dynamics are sensitive, and its bark is severe. Whether you're looking to save a buck on a Black Beauty clone or in the market for a more delicate variation on a theme,
