Is the Black Beauty really the GSOAT? Of course that's ultimately up to you, but I wanted to share a few thoughts after spending some time with mine.
Some extra points I didn't make in the video
-The Black Beauty has gone through many iterations, and it's often the vintage ones that are most coveted. Despite that, I am only focusing on brand new production line Black Beauties.
-One of the reasons I think people like Ludwig snares is how naturally warm and controlled they are. We don't like to admit that that's what we want, but I think it's a big part of the Ludwig snare sound.
-Compared to an Acrolite, the BB feels and responds similarly, but sounds brighter and has more top end.
Ludwig Supraphonic Black Beauty 6.5x14
Other gear:
DW Jazz Series Mahogany toms
20" Slingerland kick
Meinl Byzance cymbals
Sony A6500 camera w/Canon 50mm lens
Coles 4038 overheads
AKG 414 rooms
SM57s all over the place
A medium amount of EQing was used (to make it sound like it did in the room) and a touch of compression
Let me know if you have any other questions in the comments, and thanks for watching!
