Hi Guys,
It was my birthday recently so I treated myself to a new snare.
I have long wanted a Ludwig Black Beauty but this is unfortunately out of my price range. My local music shop had a 14" x 6.5" snare labelled as a World Max "Black Brass over Chrome". I looked on the WM website and the only snare they list looking the same as the shops is called a black hawg (with chrome hardware and tube lugs - both of which my snare has) which makes me curious if this is indeed a black hawg. Is the black brass over chrome just a generic title for the black hawg? I asked the shop owner who wasn't sure himself and said it probably is the same thing. The website doesn't seem to have a generic chrome over brass snare listed on the catalogue.
The badge on my snare says Worldmax Vintage Classic or something along those lines if that helps. Also it cost me about the same as the BH listed on the World Max website.
Anyway I ended up buying the snare and am very pleased with it - a real high end crack when I put a new remo controlled sound on it to replace the stock remo UT (utter tripe?) heads it came with. I suppose it doesn't really what the snare is called to be fair but would like to know for my own information.
Thanks,
R.
