The LB416 features a smooth brass shell with classic lugs Supra-Phonic Snares! One of the primary reasons Ludwig is "The Most Famous Name In Drums" is the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum. The drum is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn and spun into a seamless beaded shell, then nickel-plated with a beautifully exquisite finish. A true American original, the Black Beauty provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often imitated but never duplicated. However, due to their truly unique and difficult manufacturing process, only a very limited number of Black Beauties is available each year from Ludwig USA. The Black Beauty responds with excellent sensitivity at all volumes. The 80-year tradition of the Ludwig Black Beauty carries on as the ultimate snare drum in the industry.
