Black Beauty Snare Drum Articles and History

We have other web sites that go in to more detail about the hardware and badges used on Ludwig Snare Drums. The Supraphonic and the Black Beauty both share the same strainer, lugs and hardware. So clicking here will take you to our Supraphonic web site section that will give you more hardware information.

The Black Beauty introduced with a 1977 flyer originally had the pointy Blue and Olive badge.

From that you can follow the badges on the Supraphonic Badge page. The main difference and special features of the Black Beauty are the gun-metal finish and the special engravings.
