Just grabbed a Black Magic
I just grabbed a 14X5 Ludwig Black Magic last night. I have been looking for a decent snare without spendint upwards of $600. This one was definetly the right choice. Great response feel and it can be tuned low to achieve a nice fat warm depth. Love it. If anyone does not want to fork out the extra cash for the Black Beauty thrn this is a great alternative.
The guy I bought it from at the shop said that he has a Black Magic and a Black Beauty. He said that If you understand how to tune a snare you can get the Black Magic to sound remarkably close to the Black Beauty...
I love it...Awesome snare. Way better than my stock Catalina Maple snare. I think it was the Nickle over brass sound that I have been chasing all along.
