The Next Stage of Ludwig Marching Percussion
Ludwig’s first iteration of its Ultimate marching percussion series set the bar for instruments and ensembles everywhere. Now, the Ultimate 2 series stands poised to carry the torch. These Ultimate 2 speed tenors sport an upgraded 6-ply shell construction (with 5-ply reinforcement rings plus updated ring joints) that increases longevity; updated tension rods, hoops, and lug casings; new finishes and hardware color options; and even a new badge to herald in a new era of marching percussion. If that weren’t enough, Ludwig offers both this “speed” tenor option as well as traditionally sized marching tenor drums with larger shell depths. Give your drumline a serious upgrade with the Ultimate 2 series of marching percussion instruments from Ludwig.
Note: This tenor set does not come with a carrier. We recommend the Ludwig RMABSQ Randall May BiPosto Marching Tenor Carrier. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have questions or concerns.
