For years, Ludwig drums have always been a class apart when compared to others and this rings true even today and it stands out even among increased competition from many good brands. We’ll take a look at the latest offering form Ludwig drums which is the Ludwig LB416T Black Beauty Snare Drum.
The Ludwig LB416T range has a reputation of being a workhorse and this model too lives up to it. It is highly versatile, plays extremely well and sounds great. The 5” X 14” brass shell of the Black Beauty is unique, in that it comes from a single sheet of brass unlike more snare drums in the market these days.
As a bass drum, this model from Ludwig drums is surprisingly light weight and this can be attributed to the use of non-brass in certain parts, unlike the old models which were made completely of bass. But that doesn’t mean that the Black Beauty loses any of its stings. The mid-range tunings is where the drum thrives with a very warm and metallic sound that is so pleasing to the ears.
Although a little pricier than its competitors, it is worth spending the money on it for the performance that the Ludwig LB416T delivers. Also, there are many more models of Ludwig drums in the Black Beauty line-up, so you have a lot of choice in picking up the one which most likely suits your tastes and your pocket.
