THey are a classic series of drums that you've definitely heard multiple times in your life. Made in the USA to stringent standards, the Black Beauty line is only available in limited batches each year. Due to this limited manufacturing process, you can be assured each one is a piece of art in its own right. Able to be played when cranked super high or deliver a low, fat sound, a Ludwig Black Beauty is a snare for life.
Brass shells have a musical nature that is highly versatile. With a warm low end and vibrant mids, the highs open up and allow for a highly metallic tone that cuts. Known for its loudness, it is one of the most dynamic of metals. Top session drummers love a brass shell due to its crack when struck, coming across in a studio or live environment phenomenally well - you've definitely heard one!
