oin the Family
Looking back at over a century of Ludwig Percussion, the
word “Family” continues to find its way into how we define what
we are as a company. It’s certainly no secret that we bolster a rich
history, originated by William F. and Theobald Ludwig in 1909. These
pioneers laid a solid foundation of drummers and percussionists
creating instruments for the needs of generations of players. That
tradition continued with William F. Ludwig II (or “The Chief” as he
has come to be known). The Chief’s dedication to the Ludwig Legacy
went way beyond his name. It was his dedication to everyone from
the craftsmen at the Ludwig factory, to the drummers who played his
creations that established the feeling of a true Family.
Sincerely,
Kevin D. Packard,
Marketing and Artist Relations Manager
Ludwig Drum Co.

Shell
The principle element in the Ludwig Sound is in our
shells. Utilizing a process refined through a century
of drum making, Ludwig drum shells are crafted
in-house with stark attention to detail, precision,
and quailty. Legacy Series Drums are a decidedly
modern twist on Ludwig’s historic 3-ply shell formula.

The process begins with each ply being precision cut and
cross-laminated into individual two and three-ply panels.
This process assures a more secure bond between each layer,
as the grain of each ply is laminated 90-degrees in relation to
the adjacent ply. Outer and Inner two-ply panels [laminated
in a horizontal/vertical grain bond to a 1.8mm thickness]
are cut to size using CNC machinery for accuracy, and laid
up in the shell mold with the outer/inner grain running
circumferencial with the shell.
Classic Maple’s standard 7-ply, 6mm shell is formulated for Tom Sizes
optimum resonance and tonality. Each drum’s bearing edge is
cut to a 45-degree angle within 1/16" from the from 6" to 18"!
