The Ludwig build process
Ludwig's Classic Maple shells are constructed of 7-ply North American maple for its high sensitivity, wide tuning range, and fast attack. They are molded with Ludwig's Radio Frequency Shell Technology (RFST). This process utilizes a unique bonding system and adhesive to ensure all the plies are evenly cured throughout the circumference of the shells. And a 45-degree bearing edge is hand-sanded for a flawless, flat surface that enhances the shell's sustain and harmonic presence.
The Ludwig sound
The maple construction of the 3-piece Classic Maple shell pack delivers a highly touch-responsive tone that will fit any genre of music. And their bold personality makes them ideal for live performance. The sound of Ludwig drums has been heard on countless recordings and performances over decades. The Classic Maple shell pack starts with that warm, iconic tone and takes it to a louder and more versatile level.
The Ludwig legacy
With a proud legacy that dates back to 1909, Ludwig drums are a favorite among Sweetwater drummers for their warm, punchy sound. The world has heard them in front of Cream's Ginger Baker, keeping the pulse behind Queen at Live Aid, and laying down the monstrous sound of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks." But their biggest break came when Ringo Starr proudly played them on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. The 5-piece Accent drum set carries this impressive legacy forward.
