Find it on:
Lars Ulrich, the drummer for Metallica, utilized a Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum on their album "Master of Puppets," as confirmed by a thank you note to Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen in the album's liner notes. This gesture was in gratitude for Allen lending Ulrich his Ludwig Black Beauty, following Ulrich's dissatisfaction with his own snare sound. The swap was facilitated swiftly, with producer Flemming Rasmussen recalling that the drum was shipped to Copenhagen the following day. This detail is documented and verified by Metallica Black Box, which provides an article titled "Rick Allen's Snare on Master of Puppets," highlighting this unique collaboration and equipment use.
