Snare Drums

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
