ITEM DESCRIPTION

Ludwig Classic Maple MOD22 Shell Pack, Sky Blue Pearl

L8424AX set includes: 18×22 BD, 8×10 and 9×12 TT, Clamp On Tom Holder (2), 16×16 FT

SHELL:

7-ply Cross-Laminated North American Maple.

Preferred by professionals for its tonal versatility, Classic Maple drums are the ideal choice for any performance application. 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 MOLDING:

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 our 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 our 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 we make.

MY TAKE ON IT/RECOMMENDATIONS

Interesting tidbit: Ludwig uses the most advanced and accurate method of manufacturing drum shells for all of their USA-made drums. The tolerance where each ply meets is so tight, it negates the need for any wood filler. The end result is an outstanding, unbridled tone. When it comes to a straight maple shell, the Classic Maples are my favorite in the business. The sound is timeless.At Drum Center of Portsmouth, it’s important to us that you get the products that are right for your needs. We truly believe that a strong relationship with a well respected retailer is one of the most valuable tools a drummer can have in his arsenal.
