Ludwig 8X14” Black Beauty Snare Drum
One of the primary reasons Ludwig is "The Most Famous Name On Drums" is the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum. The drum is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn into a seamless beaded shell. 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.With a choice of two strainer options (P85 Supra-Phonic or P86 Millennium), the Black Beauty responds with excellent sensitivity at all volumes. Choose from Imperial or tube lugs, die cast or triple-flange hoops and a smooth or hand hammered shell.
A true American original, the Black Beauty provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often imitated, but never duplicated. Learn More

Dunnett Classic Titanium Snare Drum - Raw Finish
This IS the world's first Titanium snare drum. Designed in 1989 the Dunnett Classic Titanium snare drum is simply the original. Since its introduction, the Classic Titanium has earned numerous awards: 2 gold medals at the Snare Drum Olympics, the 2005 Drummie Award for Snare Drum of the year and the International Titanium Association's Application Development Award in 2016. This is a drum that is as sincere about sound as you are about your music. The best way to experience this drum is to try it out at a Dunnett Classic dealer. If you don't have a dealer close to you I invite you to hear online on the Dunnett Classic YouTube channel where you can find true high-quality videos of the Classic Titanium in the studio and on stage. All Dunnett Classic Titanium snare drums are crafted by hand from my exclusive proprietary Year 20 Titanium. The shells are then skillfully mapped and drilled by hand (no lasers or CNC automation is used), then assembled one at a time by me personally. Each and every shells is signed by me and given a date of manufacture and a unique serial name. Hardware includes the workd famous patented R4 throw off, R9 brass tube lugs, my patented Hypervent 1, George Way Double Edge-Double Flange 2.3mm steel hoops, Remo Batter and Dunnett Cristal snare side heads and Dunnett Presence 42 strand snare wires. Finished in the beautiful Raw finish or any number of colour coated finishes. As one my my early clients said to me "I don't want a Titanium snare drum. I want a Dunnett".The Alternative is compromise. Learn More
