What a great drum!

Quality:

It is a Ludwig..........'nuff said! A killer drum made by one of the most respected companies in the business. I believe it is made overseas, which may be the reason it is not a Black Beauty. But other than that, it is every bit as good.

Ease of Use:

This drum fits right in with how I tune my kit and yet it adds a whole new voice. Everything works great.

Sound:

The sound is more mellow than a steel shelled drum, as expected from the brass shell, but with a great bite and attack. Much more power than a wood shell drum.

Value:

This drum is a great value. It is much cheaper than a standard Black Beauty, but with the same shell type and, in my opinion, much cooler looks. If you are needing or wanting a metal shell drum, take a good look at this one. You will not be disappointed.

Durability:

Everything on this drum seems top notch. The lugs turn very smoothly and the drum tunes up easily and accurately. This is a versatile drum that can be tuned up or down. The die cast hoops are great and seem very solid.

Own it.......Love it.......Would buy it again.

Quality:

Overall it seems very well made.

Ease of Use:

The easiest to tune snare I've ever used.

Sound:

I rented a Black Beauty snare from "The Drum Doctors" when recording an album at NRG Studios in North Hollywood. This Black Magic snare sounds just as good in my opinion. I switched out my snares to the 40 strand to get even more crack. There is a beautiful low end presence as well around this drum that when miked sounds so full (unmiked as well). I just played a gig with the new snare and my entire band and friends in the audience all commented on the new great snare.

Value:

Considering it's at least half the price of a Black Beauty, it's worth every penny. I agree with some of these other reviews that they could've given it a better throw off, but other than that, it's great.

Durability:

The drum itself seems very durable. I'm hoping the lugs and throwoff don't start having problems down the road. So far so good. I hit really hard, so on my other snare drums the lugs will actually break off where they're screwed in and I have to replace them.

As the originator of its Black Nickel-Over-Brass shell composition, Ludwig is proud to announce the introduction of new Black Magic Snare Drums. A classic formula for a more aggressive musical age, Black Magic snare drums share the same shell type with the Black Beauty, but with upgrades like matching Die-Cast hoops for increased volume, and Tube-Style lugs for maximum shell resonance.
