DOWNBEAT 3PC SHELL PACK:
14x20 BD

Classic Oak is built on the original Ludwig, cross-over, Oak shell formula that has captivated professionals for the last decade. Our exclusive design blends Oak and Maple to produce a rich tone that is balanced, focused, and loud. With exciting new finishes and more configuration options, Classic Oak joins its counterpart, Classic Maple, as a powerful, dynamic, professional drum set.
Shell
5-ply, 6.5mm cross-over shell: 3-ply maple core with American red oak inner and outer plies. This is a proprietary Ludwig design not traditional to most Oak builds. The maple adds more control and low-end to the Oak to produce a more well-rounded tone as opposed to a straight Oak shell.
To increase stability throughout the drum, all Ludwig USA shells are produced using Radio Frequency Shell Technology. Using a process involving our historic bladder moulds that date back to the late 1960's, 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 we make.
Bearing Edge
Dual 45-degree bearing edge for added focus, attach, and tuning control. A 3-ply maple core is used at this shell's core for the apex of the bearing edge for even head to edge contact. The oak inner/outer plies maximize attack and stick definition for a sound with dark presence and sculpted definition.
Note: Hardware, snare and cymbals sold seperately.
