Kenny, thank you. I wanted to break out my Black Beauty and update it with some fresh heads. I remember seeing this video a while back and looked it up. It gave a solid place to go to, or start from. I did some follow up tweaking on it at a gig and it absolutely came to life. It is an absolute beast of a drum now. This along with my LM 402 are outstanding! Thank you. Wishing you positive vibes brother! 🙏☮️💕🥁🎼

Hot damn, that last tuning is 🔥🔥🔥
Incredible sounds!
Great video!
Thanks Kenny
Great video. Back in the '80s, a buddy of mine loaned me his 14x6.5 Black Beauty to take out on the road. What a joy!
Thank you so much for the kind words. This was my go to snare for many years. Tour, local gigs,studio, etc. Definitely one for the collection. Thank you for watching, and commenting. 🙌🙌🙌
Sounds so good at every tuning! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and joy!
Sound fantastic !! ✨✨👏🏻👏🏻🎶🎶
I just bought a black beauty a month ago no imperial lugs
Small attachment I love it y’all
Those Rogers drums are gorgeous
I recently got my hands on a Ludwig Black Beauty, but the modern version. Ludwig Black Beauty Hot Rod to be exact. This is honestly one of my favorite snares I own. I'm also running the same heads too. I just like the sound of a dry snare, so that has been my go to for all of the snares I own.
Yeah the hot rod BB is a sweet drum! I agree that the dryness from the HD dry gets the perfect sound for this drum. Thanks for watching. Please check out the lesson at www.kennysharretts.com as streaming helps to support my channel, and gives you a wicked set of tuning skills in the process.
I went a step up and put chrome over brass triple flange on mine and man what an upgrade in tone!!!
Yeah a brass hoop can add a sweet warmth to the tone. I’ve tried Die-Cast as well on this drum, which tightens up the tone for sure. Thank you for watching. Please check out the full lesson at www.kennysharretts.com as streaming helps to support my channel, and helps you get a wide range of killer tones from your Black Beauty .
Hey Kenny! Thanks for this one. I have this drum and have used all of these tunings, and a few others in this range. This drum always sounds great! Thanks again for sharing your drum mojo!

Amazing tuning skills and explanation, as always! Couldn’t help but being captivated by that ride, which ride is that??
Hi Kenny. That sounds awesome...!!!
(The snare drum as well...)
Thank you so much for the kind words, and thank you for watching.
Dude, that whole kit sounds great. The kick drum especially. It cracks and has a tremendous low end. I'm really wanting a Rogers kit. There's a video of David Bowie on the Johnny Carson show from like '81 where he does Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes. The drummer is playing a Rogers kit and just has this huge, fat tom sound going.
Wow thank you so much for the kind words. I gotta be honest I absolutely love both my new Covington and PowerTone kits . The tone of these drums are simply insane. Thank you for watching.
YEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Kenny! i think you need to send me this drum, just so i can test out your suggestions, just to see is it accurate at my home environment.
What Y'all think?
I thinks it’s got a great beat you can dance to. 10 out of 10!!!
Kenny sounds so Fantastic . I have a DW Design Series Nickel over Brass 14 X 6.5 Snare - using a Evans HD Dry batter head. But no matter what I do to the tuning , I can't get the sound you are getting. PHAT and solid with no "crackle". When I tune the batter head up hogher - I get this unpleaseant Crackle ? Perhaps I over doing the Table Top tight Reso head? Gotta Love Your Passion, Man.
Thank you so much. Man the full lesson vid snare will help you greatly, but know if you want a direct coaching experience i’m always available for online lessons . Thank you so much for watching, and commenting.

OH shit!
Might be my new favorite guy, and his last name is sharts. #1
Fiiiiiinally!! Finally someone said it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I made it all the way through HS and college. No one said a word. Post college my roommate hinted at it with an I instead of an A. I have been sweating a run on this pun since Phillip Seymour Hoffman had that hilarious moment. Today sir you are the winner winner chicken dinner. Glad you like the content as well. Thank you so much for watching, and as I’m telling everyone, please note that Super Thanks is now available on my vids to help support my channel. 🙏🙏🙏
Kenny love your enthusiasm and playing. I hope to get a black beauty BUT the newer ones have those rubber gaskets under the lugs. Why on earth did Ludwig do this? This obviously takes away that classic tone. So when I get mine I’ll take off the rubber gaskets which my friend did. That HD dru head sounds great! Keep it up Kenny 🥁🥁🥁🤘
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend. I can understand wanting the full tone. I think it was done to
A. Keep the lug casings from cutting into the shell
B. To help control a bit of the ring that comes from the lug casings/tension springs.
BITD it was common for drummers to stuff their Ludwig Casings with cotton to kill spring rattle/ring, and dampen the open space in the casing. I actually felt lined my lugs, and put a felt gasket under the tension casings. Best thing I’ve EVER done for this drum. Tightened the tone up “just a touch” , and now engineers in studios/live FLIP over this drum. Thank you so much for watching, and commenting.
Cheers Kenny …. 🥁🥁❤️
When mine is out of tune it makes the worst harmonic wang sound.
