2020 Ludwig Black Beauty 5" - Mastered Snare Samples
The Classic Black Beauty …
An American classic, the Black Beauty delivers a warm, fat, metallic tone that cuts through a thick mix like nothing else. Fitted with Ludwig's P85 Supraphonic strainer, Imperial lugs, and triple-flanged hoops, this drum is super responsive. Due to a complex manufacturing process, they're not easy to make, so the Black Beauty is only available in limited quantities each year from Ludwig USA.
