DISC Ludwig 14 x 8'' Black Magic Snare Drum w/Chrome Hardware Overview
Take home a piece of history. There's nothing like a Ludwig snare. The Ludwig 14 x 8'' Black Magic Snare Drum's brass shell is based closely on that of its older brother, the infamous Black Beauty, and carries many of the same, sought-after characteristics. From light brushwork to full rim shot crack, the Black Magic produces an open, yet warm tone that's also rich in metallic, upper harmonics, adding an increasingly up-front attack to the sound the harder it's struck.
A set of 2.3mm, triple-flanged hoops enhance the drum's colourful timbre, offering improved sustain and an airy, natural feel. These work with the 10 vintage-look, Ludwig tube lugs to provide rock-solid, precise tuning at any pitch. With a stunning black nickel-plated shell finish offsetting the brilliant chrome hardware, this is an incredibly versatile snare drum at a competitive price point that brings that instantly recognisable, Ludwig sound to a new generation of drummers.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionVintage look, versatile tone
There's a reason Ludwig snares are so popular. Put simply, they work in any genre. The Black Magic series is equipped with a vintage-style throw-off, and matching chrome strainer. However, don't let the old school look deceive you - this is a Ludwig part, meaning you can expect the silky smooth action and pinpoint tightening accuracy drummers of all genres require. Likewise, the traditional look of the Black Magic's tube lugs is merely aesthetic - they're as precise and well balanced as they come, meaning any tuning, high or low, is in easy reach.
About Ludwig Drums
Established in 1909 by William F. & Theobald Ludwig, the Ludwig Drum Company has since progressed to become one of the world's leading drum manufacturers. During the 1960s, Ludwig began to receive huge amounts of publicity, with key artists such as John Bonham from Led Zeppelin performing on Ludwig drums and gaining yet more recognition.
With its manufacturing facility remaining in Monroe, NC, the company recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, releasing yet more flagship drumming equipment. Ludwig's snares are considered some of the best in the business, holding the title of the world's most toured and recorded snares ever. Every snare offers unique qualities, but they all share one property - a truly unbeatable sound.
