Ludwig Snare Drums

Black Magic

Legendary, player approved sound. Ludwig pioneered the black-nickel over brass shell concept in the early 1920's, setting a standard that all others would follow. Black Magic Snare Drums bring that signature sound and quality to a whole new playing spectrum, with four models to satisfy any playing situation. Accentuated with matching tube lugs and die-cast hoops, Black Magic snares deliver classic tone that drummers have come to expect from Ludwig.

Black Magic 5”x14” Model (#LW5514)	Black Magic 6.5”x14” Model (#LW6514)	Black Magic 7”x13” Model (#LW0713)
A standard model for everything from Pop to Jazz, the 5x14" produces pure, articulate snare tone with bright overtones.	For higher-volume situations, the 6.5x14" has a fat, open sound without sacrificing tone or sensitivity.	Built to focus on tight, crisp projection, the 7" depth on this 13" model ads full-bodied sonic elements to its powerful attack.

Black Magic Stainless Steel

Yet another in a series of Ludwig firsts, Black Magic Stainless models incorporate a mirror-polished, 1.5mm stainless steel shell for bright, cutting attack and mid-range overtone. Black Magic's black-nickel tube lugs and appointments provide sharp visual contrast, and tonal range is broadened with 2.3mm power-hoops.
