The New and Improved NeuSonic
The Ludwig NeuSonic has never looked or sounded this good, boasting an upgraded musical 7-ply hybrid shell construction comprising three internal plies of cherry and four external plies of maple. Crafted in Monroe, North Carolina, this 5.5mm pairing formulates exceptional attack, ideal sustain, and a darker and quite present midrange that seriously packs a punch. This particular NeuSonic Downbeat 3-piece from Sweetwater keeps your shells sized down with a comfortable 14- x 20-inch bass drum, 14- x 14-inch floor tom, and an 8- x 12-inch mounted tom. With hearty, low-mass hardware to boot, like triple-flanged hoops, Mini Elite lugs, and a PM0048 tom holder, the NeuSonic Downbeat 3-piece shell pack is capable of handling the playing styles of all timekeepers, from modest rhythmists to super-heavy hitters.

Maple-cherry combination for supple tone
Ludwig’s tone doctors have known the secrets of what makes a superb-sounding shell for well over a century, and the NeuSonic series fills its spot in the roster with extraordinary confidence. On the inside, three plies of cherry wood lay a denser tonal foundation that injects the NeuSonic with a dark, authoritative midrange presence. Surrounding the cherry wood are four plies of maple, cloaking this shell pack’s substantial interior with a classic and rhythmically clear exterior. A breeze to adapt to any genre, the NeuSonic offers a tonal balance that isn’t too bass- or treble-heavy — it’s just right!
Superior sonic build
The right tonal foundation is imperative, but what’s even more significant is the care that goes into building the perfect shell. And with their precision RFST Molding process, Ludwig’s American-made shells certainly qualify. Using historic molds from the ‘60s and their Radio Frequency Shell Technology (RFST), each drum in this pack is shaped evenly and bonded with a proprietary adhesive to ensure maximum shell stability while providing that timeless Ludwig tone. Lastly, perfect 45-degree bearing edges with 1/16-inch back cuts optimize sustain and deliver steadfast tuning stability to accommodate virtually any tension.
Handsome low-mass hardware
The NeuSonic’s final piece of the equation is a lightweight hardware set that looks slick and performs with unwavering provision. An outfit of low-mass Mini Elite lugs, Elite spurs, and claw hooks remains determined to preserve your kit’s intonation — and look pretty good while doing it! Factor in a set of lightweight triple-flanged hoops, the included PM0048 tom holder, and its accompanying Triad tom bracket, and it’s plain to see how effortlessly the NeuSonic bridges style and performance reliability. Take to the stage with conviction and track in the studio with confidence!
