The Leedy Black Elite was one of the first "premium" metal snare drums manufactured. Like the Ludwig and Slingerland Black Beauties, the metal Black Elite is a brass drum with black nickel plating and a hand-engraved scroll pattern around the shell. Eight gold plated Nobby center lugs, stick chopper hoops (the top one has been painted), and Utility snare strainer with Puresound snare wires.

This drum is well worn, with some areas of the nickel plating actively rubbed off, the top hoop painted black, three holes drilled in the shell, and surface rust over most of the throw-off, which is a period replacement of the original Speed-Way. But despite its humble cosmetic appearance, the shell is round and free of dents, and this drum sounds and plays like a dream.
