Here we have possibly the first one of these drums you will have seen. You haven't read the description wrong! This is the Ludwig LB546 Bronze Beauty. Visually the drum appears the same as the Iconic Black Beauty but with a 1.2mm seamless smooth Bronze shell that is Black Nickel Plated.
The 1.2mm seamless bronze shell offers a unique blend of the metal snare pop and projection, with all of the warmth you get from using a softer darker bronze alloy.
Like the Black Beauty we are guessing not many of these will be made on a yearly basis and at present this drum isn't detailed on the Ludwig website though we have been told it's a new model for 2020.
Black Beauty looks with Bronze sound - what's not to like!
