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 literally a one-of-a-kind snare drum thanks to an amazing partnership between Rhythm Traders, Ludwig and famed engraver, drum tech, and vintage drum enthusiast, John Aldridge (www.drumscratcher.com).
