[A used Ludwig Black Magic snare drum has arrived! It features a black nickel-finished brass shell and die-cast hoops, offering a versatile sound!] -Ludwig Drum Company- The Ludwig Drum Company was founded in Chicago in 1909 by brothers Theo and William Ludwig. They manufactured the world's first practical foot pedal, and this success led to the establishment of a prestigious drumming company. The expertise cultivated since our founding continues to be passed down, providing a balance of tradition and innovation to meet the demands of artists around the world. -Black Magic- The concept of the "Black Beauty," a pioneering model featuring a brass shell with a black nickel finish, introduced by Ludwig in the early 1920s shortly after its founding, has since influenced many drum manufacturers. The BLACK MAGIC series inherits the original concept and we are confident that it will meet the expectations of musicians in all situations. It features a brass shell with a black nickel finish and die-cast hoops. With its highly rigid die-cast hoops, this model boasts a tight, focused attack and a rich, open, and fat sound thanks to its full mid-to-low frequencies, making it a superior model that rivals higher-end models. Its sleek, all-black look is also a major draw.
