Ludwig drum kit with Classic Maple sound
The Ludwig Classic Maple Downbeat is a drum kit supplied as a shell set for drummers looking for a compact and widely usable setup. Within Ludwig, the Classic Maple is the brand’s most popular line, known for the legendary sound associated with names such as Ringo Starr and Joe Morello.
The 7-ply maple shells give this Ludwig set high sensitivity, a very wide tonal range and clear attack. That makes this drum kit work well in many musical situations, from live performance to studio recording.
Downbeat configuration for versatile use
This downbeat shell set includes a 20" x 14" bass drum, a 12" x 8" tom including Atlas Mount and a 14" x 14" floor tom including floor tom legs. One tom holder for mounting to a stand is also included, so you can position the tom to suit your setup.
The Downbeat configuration has been part of the Ludwig drums line-up for a long time and remains popular because of its versatility. The shells adapt to different playing styles and environments, which makes this black Ludwig Classic Maple well suited to both stage work and recording use. For advice on other configurations, you can also contact the percussion specialists at Magna Music.
