The Ludwig Black Beauty is the classic brass snare: a seamless 14x5 brass shell with black nickel plating and Ludwig's tube lugs. The 5-inch depth gives a crisp, articulate crack with more cut and less low-end than the deeper 6.5-inch version. The best new price is $779 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, with four stores listing it new.

The Black Beauty is one of the most recommended brass snares, praised for its focused tone and build. Owners note the finish needs care and that the 5-inch depth trades some low end for articulation.
