One observation for others drummers, NEVER use a chrome cleaner on the clear lacquer that protects these shells. Just use a damp cloth and buff dry gently. The coating is so thin almost anything will take it off.
Soft sweet golden sound-
Shedding happiness to all ears,
a music galore.
I love the way you worded that.

That new throw looks *chefs kids* on that drum. I remember the first time I saw a Black Beauty in High School and have wanted one since! Beautifully done dude!
Thank you, Lana! Hope you're doing well!
Great playing! Great job getting it back to beautiful.
Thank you for watching!
WOW..both beautiful looking and sounding.
You’re a very lucky guy..👍🏿
The previous owner didn’t look after it very well.
What a disgrace..
Nice work and demo.
Thank you for watching!
I wonder if this is a B Stock, meaning that there was some type of very minor blemish, but it's still fully functional, so was sold by Ludwig for slightly less $$ and no serial number.
The drum also doesn't have a case. Could very well be the B stock black beauty. Thanks for watching!
A lot of the Limited numbered Series have extra drums, some with drum numbers, some without. I suppose it's a bit like a Baker's Dozen in that respect - a spare or 2 just in case.
That strainer replacement is much better then the other.. I put one on my hammered Black Beauty.
I agree. Functions and looks better than the original one that comes on those drums. Thanks for watching!
One of the most beautiful snare drums ever made..and it doesn't sound half bad either. Brass/bronze shells seem to bridge the gap between the sharp metallic crack of steel/alloy shells and wood shell drums. Nice playing.
Thank you for watching!!
Really good presentation. Just found you, and glad that I did! (Liked & sub’d)
Would you consider doing a video on your hi-hats? I’ve been intrigued by riveted hats, and am understandably hesitant to experiment, plus there doesn’t seem to be a ton of information on the topic out there.
Cheers!
Thank you for the kind words! I’ll have to make a video on riveted hihats! I was given that pair of hihats. But from what I know Steve Gadd is a big advocate of the riveted hihats!
I’ve been cooking somthing really special up, so stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
Tasty!!
If you're interested in knowing what the 'number' of your drum is, I'd suggest you reach out to John Aldrich directly and provide some info about the size/series and pics of the drum. The most important pic will be of the interior of the drum, where John placed his 'engraver code.' From that, he can give you an idea of what number that drum was in the engraving sequence. However, this sequence number may differ from any badge number Ludwig may place on these drums (i.e., Ludwig may have sat on a batch of these drums before begining any badging prior to moving them on to the retail market). I have a 2009 100th Anniversary BB (6.5"x14") that John help identify for me.
I'll have to reach out to John directly. I'm super curious to know what number my drum is. Thanks for watching!
John Aldridge recommends Tiny amount of Blitz
For polishing the shell?
How did you acquire this drum? You mentioned how rare it is, but not how you came to own it.
Great question! I bought this drum from a local music shop in my area that primarily buys/sell/trades used music gear. I walked in one day and had seen the drum on a shelf. I traded in some old gear of mine and purchased if for $877 (not bad considering that a normal black beauty in the same size sells for that brand new) Thank you for watching!
@@destination_percussionI bought a new one in 2008 for 2 grand. Got yourself a deal there buddy nice work
