Ludwig Legacy

The Sound That Defines Legends

Ludwig originally introduced their 3-ply shell formula back in 1923. At the time they claimed it was built "....in accordance with the recognized correct principles used in the manufacture of airplanes." Whilst the aerospace industry may have made a few advancements over the years, it's fair to say the principles laid down in the early part of the 20th century are still regarded as the holy grail of drum design. The Ludwig Legacy brings together cutting edge manufacturing with these time-honoured practices to create a cult-classic.

  • Mahogany Shell

    The classic vintage 3-ply Legacy shell features a ¹⁄₁₆" mahogany outer ply, ⅛" poplar core, ¹⁄₁₆" mahogany inner ply with a ¼" solid maple reinforcement ring.

  • The key is the centre core of poplar that adds focus to the rich low-end of the mahogany plies, creating a sonic warmth that vintage Ludwig drums are so famous for.

    Each shell features a 30° inner cut bearing edge with a ¼" radius round over.

  • Maple Shell

    The maple 3-ply Legacy shell features a ¹⁄₁₆" maple outer ply, ⅛" poplar core, ¹⁄₁₆" maple inner ply. Also featuring a ¼" solid maple reinforcement ring.

  • A more modern twist on the original mahogany shell, the maple version delivers a bright presence, with plenty of low-end and exceptional focus.

    Each maple shell features the same 30° inner cut bearing edge with a ¼" radius round over.
