Hey i can't reach your site.. :(

[@jeremystanosheck773]

This was another killer video! Thank you guys. The BB sounds great, but I honestly thought it was part of the universal line; happy that it was a special creation for DCP. Like the finish, it’s almost kind of matte like. BTW - I have a Turkish crash ride and love it.

[@skyDN1974]

Website is down :(

[@shitstain001]

@@jeremystanosheck773 it is matte! I bought one of these in the first batch a few weeks ago and it straight up blew my tits off.

[@ryanforresterrenaissancesa4204]

Shane, I like how you are honest about your take on equipment.

[@ImreImbrium]

I am not a drummer, but a fan of the art and the science. That is by far one of the best snares I have ever heard!!

[@af7119]

Came for the snare. Found a new brand of cymbals I love!

[@camerondean6804]

Same here.

[@GrassRoots-fp4ty]

One of my absolute favorite snare sounds is a brass snare in higher tuning. This one is beautiful!! And the kit,,,,Amazing! Why does Ludwig have to be so much!!! This was amazing. My favorite video in a while.

[@lancelucifer4851]

The snare has a beautiful ring to it. Ludwig, hey, you can never go wrong with Ludwig.

[@benwyant6609]

Mine came in yesterday. I absolutely love it. Worth every penny.

[@drumcenternh]

So glad to hear, enjoy it Ben!!

[@phillipmckeownakalucifer.6689]

I want it all. 26 in bass drum Bonham style. Add a 18 x 18 floor tom.... And that snar need a 42 rib snar.

[@Ian_P]

Wow! That really is a sweet sounding snare drum. Congratulations DCP on the exclusive score. Noice! 😁👍

[@stephenplaysthedrums9440]

Just ordered one today. Been wanting a black beauty for forever, can’t wait to get it! This is the one I wanted since I first saw it.

[@TM_Stone]

"Since these Mahogany Black Cat kits are so limited, we decided to buy Ludwig the company" Shane

[@petermasalsky8844]

"It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none - none more black.' 😀

[@Ian_P]

It could. 1. Black screws and washers internally on the lugs. 2. Black ends and wire on the snare wires.

[@drumcenternh]

@@Ian_P you forgot to troll on the badge, too

[@Ian_P]

@@drumcenternh I'm not trolling. Don't be ridiculous. It really could be more black however. As I have already said in another post. It is an awesome snare drum. Simply stunning. 😁👍

[@petermasalsky8844]

So...nobody recognizes the quote from This Is Spinal Tap that I made as a joke? I weep for our future.

[@alexalja]

It’s really a nice snare, but I would buy the 8 lug 14x5 instead. That tuned low must be the beast. You guys do a great work for the drum community around the world. Thanks!

[@evensteven8129]

ludwig drums sound so great… The entire kit!

[@footnotedrummer]

Very cool looking snare. I understand that many people love tube lugs, but I've never been a huge fan of the look. I think would have looked incredible with Imperial lugs, but maybe that's just me.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Oh. My. God. I'm weeping at the SOUND. I'm swooning into a dead faint at the BEAUTIFUL beauty's glorious looks. I have to go sob with joy and sadness. Joy at the amazing snare drum. Sadness that I have no money.

[@billyhughes9776]

Man -- beautiful overtones mixed with such phatness in the low tuning, and still phat with that CRACK in medium and high. Gorgeous. Digging those Turkish cymbals as well.

[@st3929]

Some kind of Ludwig Black Beauty might be my dream snare.

[@lrdrums98]

Loved the playing, and the gear combo all around. Great video!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

"Flappy, farty sound." Greeeeeat quote!

[@paulbruno8327]

Congratulations DCP!!! 🏆🥁 And all the gear sounds phenomenal 👍🏻

[@cymbalism1]

I love wood hoops, but I’ve found Ayotte were the best. Very unique sound. Wood hoops tuned up for jazz, are exceptionally tonal!! Coated heads, of course 😉

[@matthewpredmore6523]

My wife bought this drum for me last year; I love it!

[@OrionBleeds]

Just ordered one, thanks Shane

[@jamesrowe6652]

Shane, that is a nice sounding Black Beauty.

[@dancalabrese3523]

Between the sound and looks, this has to be the ultimate Black Beauty. Maybe it's the diecast hoops (which I've never seen on a Black Beauty before) but it's the best sounding one I've ever heard. The rest of the drums and cymbals sounded magnificent as well.

[@ramenthenoodle_]

You’ve really never seen the brass on brass black beauty? That’s diecast.

[@dancalabrese3523]

@@ramenthenoodle_ The hoops on every Black Beauty I have ever seen have been triple flanged hoops. At least the recent ones. I don't understand "brass on brass black beauty. That's diecast". What are you saying ?

@@dancalabrese3523 literally Google that phrase

[@dancalabrese3523]

@@ramenthenoodle_ Google what? Your comment makes no sense.

[@jasonb2180]

Dan, there is a Black Beauty model called Brass-on-Brass. Brass lugs and die-cast hoops. I think the other poster was mentioning that some BBs have come with cast hoops. Most don’t, but some do.

[@CornerStoreDrums]

DCP is unparalleled 💯🥁

[@uncleeasy1438]

That whole kit sounds beautiful. Dang, Son.

[@SalMichael]

I really wish they would have blacked out the imperial lugs instead. Especially at this price. They make a difference in sound and looks. This reminds me of a Tama.

[@rensdrumbeatsmore6202]

Wow!!! My next purchase. Fell in love with it 🖤🥁

[@glntchrisandy]

whoooo!! when u hit those first snare hits on the high tuning got me pumped up! it sounds amazing!

[@rjyavorskiy]

Love the snare! Been looking at Black Beauties for some time. This definitely impressed me with the look! Love the sound and feel of the whole kit and the iconic snare to go with it

[@drumrboynoid]

I've had a Black Beauty snare drum on order for a year and a half through GC. The longest backorder I've ever experienced. Theres no way Ludwig hasn't made one in that long, and this video helps to confirm that though. It's just frustrating and I had to vent. Thanks

[@aaronatz9619]

I have the Matte version and it's awesome too but the extra hardware blackness is so cool.

[@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ]

Congrats! The die cast hoops are not to my liking but it sounds great and you certainly have an audience for it. That KIT Tho? WOW!!!!!!! Stunning!!!!!

[@drumcenternh]

Thanks and yeah the kit is really something!

They released a new batch today!

[@NEALBABBITT]

WTF? No black wires?!!! 🖤 🐈‍⬛

[@delbert9357]

You are a genius. All your videos sound great and in this one you are marketing 4 items not just one like the title suggests. You are like the new Ron Popiel "RONCO" of KZbin sellers of things. But wait theres more. Watch me like the Ludwig Vistalites and you can sound just like John Bonham for only 3800.00. Saw that video, that was good. Plus you tried your best to sell the Speed king OMG that was brilliant. Love you guys!!

[@romankevkel]

Great playing and awesome snare sound.What is the frequency for the medium tuning? Thank you. Peace and Blessings ✝️🙏

[@Juniscrazy]

Sounds great! I have a similar one but 8x14 same finish but the imperial lugs and tripple flang hoops Ludwig LB4291 Stealth Ltd 8x14" Matte Black Jack over Brass Snare Drum

[@trevorcurrie9848]

I really enjoyed the vid, as a fairly new drummer, adding in the info about the sticks you're using is great. I'm still trying different types out to find the right one for me. 👍

Glad it was helpful!

[@andrewl9472]

Brass snares aren’t really my thing, but I like this one in the higher tuning. I’ve also got Remo black suede heads on my drums, and they are fantastic. I’m a little surprised I don’t see them used more

[@dilankarun9172]

This might sound crazy, but these drumsets are priced very reasonably compared to the SQ2's, Masterworks & Tama Stars. These sound and look awesome. Got that Craviotto look & vibe at a fraction of the price. Nice going DCP. Is that a Premier set in the back-ground.... cheeky 😀

[@vishusvinnie4634]

[@drumcenternh]

Awesome, enjoy it!

[@user-js8fk3ko6t]

Fantástico !

[@DICARLOPRODUCTIONS]

There was already a Black Magic, which has all of the same, and looks, and sounds better in my opinion. I´m the proud owner of 10 x mostly vintage snare drums, two of which are Black Beauties, a 1978 Black Beauty Super Sensitive, and a 1988 Black Beauty (Bronze). I also own a Ludwig Black Magic, which is my go too snare for gigs, and touring. I only use my Black Beauties for the studio. What´s the price on this new Blackest Beauty?

[@massimocarere4588]

Kit and snare have a Wonderful huge fat sound! ❤

[@KhemBMD]

….fml o really really want this

[@dilankarun9172]

Ludwig Supraphonic "Blackest Beauty" ? So is this a Supraphonic or is it a Black Beauty ? (Sorry its 2 am here in TX, and links to your website are down). Btw, your demo was superb. Right at 3.06 , epic. Cool looking and great sound. Ludwig should take notes from you guys. I predict these will now sell out pronto ! 😀

[@drummer4mysavior]

What mics are you using on the snare? Looks like Audix i5 and maybe an earthworks SDC?

[@drumcenternh]

Audix i5 and Earthworks SR20LS

[@drummerkev1627]

Did you already sell out of these because your links don’t go anywhere

[@TessaAnderson]

This thing would be perfect for a drummer in an established band that wants to emphasize a high end image. I hope a snare like this does not end up in some basement drum kit or some huge collection to rarely be enjoyed. This should be in a music video or a popular KZbin channel drum kit

[@telsonalves8060]

O kit perfeito !!!

How many those drums they going to make?

[@drummerdan95]

Blacker than the blackest black times infinity

[@phillamoore157]

I'm not a huge fan of the black beauty....frankly I think it's overpriced for what it is. But, this sounds nice....ESPECIALLY with those die-cast hoops. REALLY nice "crack" it in the higher tuning. One of the few drums that I think I could get away with playing some funk with. It's very tough to cover both of those categories. With that kit....I'd like to hear you do another take with them with the toms a bit higher in the mix. You're 110% spot on with the lack of presence, and "flappy-ness" of wood hoop kits (Ayotte's were notorious for that). That's one of the reasons I never bought one. They record beautifully, but they don't "play" like that....ZERO presence and attack. IMO, as far as this demo goes, I think the PDP kit classic wood-hoop kit sounds better than these. It's off topic, but I wonder how a Tama Star wood-hoop kit would sound...I don't think Tama's capable of making a drum with no presence or projection...😁 Ok, I'm rambling...LOL. GREAT snare, and very nice kit, that I think could be recorded better. Very cool demo as always. P.S. I've got my first purchase with you guys coming soon, with a Dunnett! 👍

[@Sundaydrumday]

well poo looks like they already sold wow, will there be more?

Stealing your store’s sticks Shane? That’s comin outcha paycheck. That combo of mahogany drums and the Blackest Beauty sounds really nice. Super tight, but with good body if that makes sense.
