Hey Everyone in this video we take a listen to the super beefy Ludwig LB408 14 x 8 Black Beauty. This snare can do it all! One of the primary reasons Ludwig is The Most Famous Name On Drums is the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum series. The Black Beauty is one of the most recorded snare drums of all time. The Black Beauty is constantly requested by A list record producers across the globe for their recording sessions. Many professional drummers regardless of endorsements also have at least one if not a few models of the Black Beauty as apart of their snare collections.
The Black Beauty is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn into a seamless beaded shell. Due to their truly unique and difficult manufacturing process, only a very limited number of Black Beauties are available each year from Ludwig USA.
A true American original, the Black Beauty provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often imitated, but never duplicated.
The LB408 shown here is an often hard to find model. This is the true beast of the range, don't be put off by it's depth, this drum can do it all, just bigger and better! The LB408 has a 14 x 8 beaded brass shell, imperial lugs and the new P88AC Throw Off.
Our demonstration starts with the snare placed in a musical context, then we show you some isolated drum mixes with the snare recorded at high & middle tuning registers.
Like with all our audio demos there is no limiting to enhance the dynamic response, no digital reverbs are used, the ambience is naturally captured with room mics. We recommend listening through headphones or speakers for the best detail.
The music used on this video is not a backing track. Rocky put the drums down first and the music was created and recorded afterwards, much like in a studio session to help demonstrate a more authentic feel.
