Speedy and Projective Marching Bass Drum

Engineered for extremely lightweight playability and maximum comfort under intense circumstances, the Ludwig Performance Series of marching percussion puts the performer first. This Performance Series Marching Bass Drum features a shell made of six plies of maple, so you can bet that the tone is rich, resonant, and extraordinarily projective. Outfitted with aluminum hoops and impressively innovative carbon fiber lugs, “weight relief” would be an understatement! This marching bass drum gives you more fleet-of-foot freedom and speed out in the field, and its durability is more than tough enough to hold up under the pressures of high-stakes performances. And on top of sounding stellar and being a breeze to maneuver, this marching bass drum looks incredible and is sure to turn heads under the stadium lights. For the utmost in marching percussion sound, structure, and style, choose Performance Series Percussion by Ludwig!

Blue Devils-designed drums

Few names in competitive marching stand out as legendarily as The Blue Devils. Since 1957, The Blue Devils have been a dominant force in marching competitions — and now you’ll benefit from their successful secrets with your Performance Series instrument! The performance experts at The Blue Devils worked closely with Ludwig to develop a series of marching percussion instruments that prioritize movement and comfort throughout every routine. The resulting specifications were designed to meet the demands of the top marching performers in the country, ensuring that percussionists can maintain the utmost focus when the moment matters most. If that’s not the national drum corps seal of approval, then we don’t know what is!

Ludwig Performance Series Marching Bass Drum Features:

  • 6-ply maple shell offers a rich, resonant, and projective tone
  • Aluminum hoops and carbon fiber lugs allow for incredible weight relief
  • Fast, fleet-of-foot playability matched with extraordinary comfort
  • Stellar sleek black look suits any marching outfit and looks fantastic on the field
  • Designed in conjunction with the World Class Champion Blue Devils marching corps

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
