Description

Iconic is probably the most appropriate word to describe the Classic Maple series of drums.  The current version has been the professional choice for over 20 years but their heritage dates back well before that. With a direct link to some of the most instantly recognisable musical performances of the 20th century. The Ludwig Classic Maple is the perfect custom solution for the discerning player. 21st century build quality with timeless vintage look and feel. 

Its full tonality, rich sustain, and exceptional versatility has made these drums the premier choice for any performance application. Utilizing a process refined through over a century of drum making, Classic Maple drums preserve the signature Ludwig sound with optimal performance. Hand-crafted at Ludwig USA in Monroe, NC.

Shell

    7-ply Cross-Laminated North American Maple. 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 Moulding

        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 their 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 the 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.

        Included in this shell pack: 

        • 20"x14" Bass Drum.
        • 12"x08" Rack Tom
        • 14"x14" Floor Tom.
        • x3 Floor Tom Legs
        Any Classic Maple Kit showing as out of stock as well as customised configurations can be special ordered direct from the Ludwig factory in the US.  The current delivery time is approximately 3-4 months although this can fluctuate slightly depending on the unpredictability of global shipping at present. Please contact us for more information.
