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.
