The 7-ply maple shells are designed for optimum resonance and a balanced tone. With a 6mm thickness, they provide a strong yet vibrant sound that works well in various musical styles. The three-ply core is laminated using Ludwig's proprietary process, enhancing durability without compromising the natural warmth of maple. These shells respond well to both soft and powerful playing, making them ideal for drummers who need versatility in their sound. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, the Classic Maple delivers clear projection and sustain.
Ludwig's Radio Frequency Shell Technology (RFST) ensures maximum shell stability. Using a specialised bonding process and historic bladder molds from the 1960s, each shell is evenly cured to maintain its shape and durability over time. This process is key to achieving the ''Ludwig Sound'', a combination of warmth, clarity, and projection that has been a favourite among drummers for decades.
The 45-degree bearing edges are cut with precision to allow for a wide tuning range and improved sustain. Placed within 1/16'' from the outer edge, this profile enhances contact between the drumhead and shell, improving resonance and response. Each edge is hand-sanded to ensure a smooth, even surface, making head changes easier and allowing for consistent tuning. This attention to detail results in a drum kit that sounds great straight out of the box.
With its Exotic Series Amethyst Burst finish, this shell pack stands out on any stage. The rich, deep purple fade highlights the natural grain of the maple, adding a high-end look to its professional sound. Beyond aesthetics, the lacquered finish also provides an extra layer of protection, helping to preserve the wood over time. This makes the Classic Maple Exotic a durable and visually stunning choice for serious drummers.
