Rock Steady On-the-move Kit by Questlove!
Designed by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of The Roots, Ludwig’s Breakbeats Series combines a small footprint and a portable drum kit design with high-quality construction. The result gives drummers a space-conscious percussive solution that’s comfortable to play anywhere: from small gigs to street shows! You’ll find that classic, full Ludwig sound wherever you take the Breakbeats, thanks in part to its 7-ply hardwood shell construction across the rack tom, floor tom, kick, and snare. Instant punchy low-end and midrange beats whenever and wherever you need them: it’s the Breakbeats Series from Ludwig and Sweetwater!

Bite-size full Ludwig sound
Don’t be fooled by the size of the Breakbeats — these shells mean business. Crafted with hearty 7-ply select hardwood shells, this 4-piece attains everything that professional drummers crave about that iconic Ludwig presence, but with a fraction of the footprint. Hand-sanded 45-degree bearing edges on each shell means smooth and even surfaces for enhancing shell tone and drumhead response. Outfitted with a set of premium Remo Pinstripes, and you’ll never want to put the sticks down.
Shell pack only. Cymbals and stands sold separately. Designed to groove and move
Portability is key, and nobody understands that more than drummers. The Breakbeats is a city percussionist’s best friend, allowing for lightweight and convenient travel wherever you require. The compact storage bags are transport friendly, and double as dampeners for when you need to tone down your sound. Upgrades like new tom brackets and new bass drum spurs and hoops give the Breakbeats a beautiful combination of aesthetic elegance and daily functionality.
In terms of sizing, this condensed kit is centered on a compact 14-inch x 16-inch bass drum, with an accompanying 7-inch x 10-inch mounted tom and 13-inch x 13-inch floor tom. The 5-inch x 14-inch snare will still deliver those bright and snappy twos and fours no matter your style — from soul to funk, jazz to rap, and everywhere in between. As Questlove himself put it, “Breakbeats by Questlove does it all.”
