The Ludwig Black Beauty Stealth 14" x 6.5" Brass Snare Drum is a modern evolution of one of the most iconic snare drums ever made. Featuring a hammered, seamless 1.2mm brass shell with a luxurious black nickel finish, this snare delivers the legendary Black Beauty sound—rich warmth, explosive projection, and unmatched dynamic sensitivity. Outfitted with 2.3mm triple-flanged steel hoops and Ludwig’s P88AC throw-off, it provides precision handling and consistent tension across the head, making it a versatile choice for drummers in any genre.
The deep 6.5-inch shell ensures powerful low-end punch, wide tuning range, and responsive feel. Heritage touches like the Keystone badge, Imperial lugs, and iconic nickel plating offer timeless aesthetic appeal. From studio sessions to live performances, the Black Beauty’s balanced attack, harmonics, and sustain make it a snare drum you’ll rely on for a lifetime. Proudly made in the USA, this snare continues Ludwig’s legacy of craftsmanship and performance excellence.
