Black Beauties and brass drums in general do not have pitting issues. Supras are more prone to pitting because apparently binding chrome to aluminum doesn't work quite as well.Anybody..........does the finish on the Black Beauty suffer from the same pitting as the chrome on the Supra?
I wouldn't let that deter you from a Supra though. If you take care of it and wipe it down once a year, and keep it out of New Orleans weather, it'll still look awesome in 20 years. My Supra is 12 years old and still looks practically new with zero pitting.
But hey, you can't go wrong with a BB either! They're very similar. In my opinion, the BB is slightly darker with a little less high-end crack. The Supra has slightly more 'snap' to it, which is why I prefer it over the BB. It's soo negligible though, I'd still be super happy with a BB.
