We are thrilled to showcase this exceptional, fully custom-ordered Ludwig Classic Maple drum kit, adorned with a stunning full-face Birdseye Maple veneer. This kit is an outstanding example of craftsmanship, with the veneer meticulously applied to both the exterior and interior of each shell, creating a breathtaking finish that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
This set features premium specifications, including PLH1150 Triad brackets, elegant Mach lugs, curved spurs, matching bass drum hoops, and the 1990s-style Keystone badges. The configuration centers around a 22" x 16" bass drum, paired with a 12" x 8" mounted tom and a 16" x 16" floor tom, offering a classic one-up, one-down setup.
The gleaming chrome Hi-Tension Mach lugs perfectly complement the vibrant Birdseye Maple finish, elevating the visual appeal to new heights. From every angle, this kit exudes sophistication and artistry—a true showstopper that combines beauty and ultimate classic maple series performance.
Shell - 7-ply Cross-Laminated North American Maple.
Preferred by professionals for its tonal versatility, Classic Maple drums are the ideal choice for any performance application. Its high sensitivity, wide dynamic tuning range, and sharp attack make it the ideal choice for live performance. Yet Classic Maple's 7-ply shell is crafted to respond to the player and environment quickly, making it adaptable to any playing style or preference.
Bearing Edge
Each drum's bearing edge is cut to a 45-degree angle within 1/16" from the outside edge. This sharp edge is hand-sanded to the craftsman's touch to assure a smooth, even, flat surface for easy head seating; the final touch to complete the unmistakable Ludwig Sound.
RFST Molding
Classic Maple's standard 7-ply, 6mm shell is formulated for optimum resonance and tonality. Its center three-ply core panel (laminated in a horizontal/vertical/horizontal grain bond to a 2.4mm thickness,) is inserted between inner and outer two-ply panels through our proprietary RFST molding process.
To increase stability through out the drum, all Ludwig USA shells are produced using Radio Frequency Shell Technology. Using a process involving their original bladder molds, R.F.S.T.'s unique bonding system -combined with a specialized, time-tested adhesive- cures each shell evenly over the entire surface of the shell. This process is truly a principal ingredient in creating the "Ludwig Sound" in every shell they make.
