The Ludwig Black Magic Chrome 14” x 8” Snare Drum features all the same sound qualities as the standard Black Magic but has chrome hardware to deliver a lighter look.
Black Brass, Classic Chrome
When it comes to brass snare drums, Ludwig is the world leader.
They first pioneered their nickel over brass concept in the early 1920s and have since gone on to produce what is arguably the most popular snare drum in the world; the Ludwig Black Beauty.
Featuring many of the sound qualities of the revered Black Beauty, the Black Magic allows drummers on a budget the opportunity to access classic Ludwig sound at a more affordable price.
The Black Magic Chrome snare features the same nickel-plated brass shell as the standard Black Magic snare but is instead adorned with all chrome hardware rather than black chrome fittings.
Offering the same tone as the standard Black Magic but with a different aesthetic, the Chrome Black Magic has a lighter look than it’s all black sibling.
Ludwig LW0814C Black Magic Chrome 14” x 8” Snare Drum Key Features:
- Black Nickel Over Brass Shell
- Chrome 2.3mm Triple Flanged Hoops
- Chrome Tube Lugs
- Focused, Tight Tone
- Crisp Projection
Classic Chrome
The main difference between the standard Ludwig Black Magic and the Ludwig Black Magic Chrome is that the first has all black hardware and the later has chrome hardware.
Featuring the same nickel-plated shell as the Black Magic snare, the Black Magic Chrome has a striking, shimmered look.
Perfectly contrasting the black colour of the drum, the beaded brass shell is adorned with classic chrome hardware to offer a pop of light tone over the dark shell.
The tube lugs keep the weight on the snare to a minimum and are low contact to prevent interference with the shell resonance.
The Black Magic Chrome is fitted with 2.3mm Triple Flanged Hoops as opposed to the die-cast hoops found on the standard model.
Offering a more open, versatile tone, the triple flanged hoops provide a wide tuning range to help you achieve your ideal sound.
Beautiful Brass
Just like the legendary Ludwig Black Beauty snare, the Black Magic Chrome has an all brass shell.
Known for its open sound across the frequency ranges, brass delivers a drum sound that’s musically warm and vibrant.
Providing tight, focused tone with crisp, articulate projection, this 14” x 8” Black Magic Chrome snare offers the cut needed to pierce through the mix on stage.
However, the 8” depth of the snare also helps to achieve a chunky, full bodied sound to deliver a wide range of tuning that’s perfect for the studio.
Whether you want the delicacy and precision of jazz and funk or need powerful impact for rock and metal, the Ludwig Black Magic Chrome is able to accommodate all music styles with ease.
Take Your Pick
The Ludwig Black Magic snare is available in a range of options to help you achieve your ideal playing sound.
There are 4 models available including the 14” x 5”, 14” x 6.5”, 14” x 8” and 13” x 7”.
In addition to the size options, the Ludwig Black Magic can be bought in the standard model which features all black hardware with diecast hoops, or in this Chrome model which features chrome hardware and triple flanged hoops.
Whatever the aesthetic or size, all the Black Magic snares offer up rich tone, focused projection and crisp articulation.
Summary
Bringing the classic Ludwig brass sound to a whole new group of drummers, the Ludwig Black Magic Chrome offers crisp articulation, focused projection and classic chrome style.
The beaded brass shell produces volume filled cut combined with full bodied tone to ensure you achieve the sound you need no matter the style or performance setting.
The black nickel over brass shell is contrasted perfectly by the all chrome triple flanged hoops and tube lugs to offer sophisticated style.
