The Ludwig Black Beauty Snare drum "Hit Maker"

Do I dare say that Ludwig makes the best metal snare drums on the market !
Some of you may agree and some may not .
I believe that the snare drum is the nucleus of the drum set and the snare drum represents the artist personality playing those drums.
When recording modern music the recording engineers highest priority is getting that snare drum to dominate the recording and it's sound must have the essential qualities to cut thru in the final mix .
The Black Beauty snare has made the standard in the record industry for decades and known as the "Hit Maker"
