Ludwig B-Stock 6.5'' x 14'' Black Beauty Snare Drum, 10 Lug

Ludwig B-Stock snares have strictly cosmetic blemishes that happened at the Ludwig Factory. The blemishes are usually difficult to find and the drum will still function, perform, and sound just as well as an 'A-Stock'. These drums are still factory sealed, and minus any cosmetic issues, factory B-Stocks will still carry Ludwig's Factory Warranty.

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 are available each year from Ludwig USA.

This is a B-Stock snare and may have minor cosmetic defects. There is no serial number present on B Stock snares. As always, we back these snares with our full return policy. Available while supplies last.
