    Hey drummers, this time out we're trying out the Ludwig Classic Maple 3-piece shell pack with 22" kick drum. Classic Maple shells are constructed of 7-ply 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 of the plies are evenly cured through the whole surface of the shells. And the 45-degree bearing edges are hand sanded for a flawless, flat surface that enhances your shell's sustain and harmonic content.

    Ringo mainly had his rack tom attached to the bass drum, not to the cymbal stand.
    He used a tom stand sometimes , when he used two rack toms .
    Great demonstration and great drums.

      Playing a 6-ply Ludwig kit made sell my Tamas. I just bought a new Ludwig Classic Maple kit and I love it. It's bit louder than the 6-ply drums, maybe just a tad more resonance. The kick is phenomenal. They sound similar to me. The tones are warm and fat from each kit. I prefer them over my 3-ply drums.

    You are the first drummer I see that he is commissioned to show drums and being a top musician you really shows the instrument and its characteristics and does not show yourself. You are selling the product, no selling yourself. Thank you.
    It's boring to see drummers who sell themselves in each video and do not let appreciate the instrument, and those abound, are the vast majority. Why you don't have teaching videos?

    Nick usually has a very highly tuned snare.

    Ludwig started in 1909...the year Gene Krupa was born.

  • @roybeckerman9253

    I just purchased this kit and wonder why Ludwig did not use a 9x12 Tom. The 9x13 just seems like a lot of weight on the cymbal stand and the ball attachment housing is not very sturdy to hold the 9x13 current tom that comes with it.

      Frank Lima I had a used kit, but it was barely used when I got it. Iirc, it had coated Remo single ply heads. They really sang. I was blown away by how loud they were, compared to both my old Yamaha & Pearl kits. Not loud in a bad way. I was just a bit intimidated at 1st. Some moon gels settled things down a bit.
