Ludwig Black Beauty Raw Brass Tube Lug LB484R 8″x14″ Snare Drum

Unfinished Brass Shell Is Visually Distinct and Sonically Pure

From yesterday’s Black Beauty to today’s Black Magic, Ludwig’s brass snares have earned a special place in the hearts of drum enthusiasts everywhere. The Ludwig Raw Brass snare is a new step in an old direction. This snare starts with a seamless center-beaded brass shell of the same quality as Ludwig’s legendary Black Beauties. Most striking is this drum’s unfinished exterior. The total lack of finish yields a truly natural patina and completely unfiltered top end. This makes the Ludwig Raw Brass snare not just a snare you’ll be proud to feature in your studio snare case, but one whose crisp response and 1:1 sensitivity will make it the star of many recording projects. Other features Ludwig fanatics will love in the Raw Brass snare include a throwback Keystone badge, Imperial lugs, and a sensitive P88 throw off. 

Made from the same 1.2mm seamless brass shell used in Ludwig’s Black Beauty snares, the Raw Brass Phonic is a unique take on a classic that does not disappoint. Every shell has an individual patina, making no two snares alike. Available in 8×14, 6.5×14, and 5.5×14 sizes.
