Ludwig L8323AX Classic Maple Drum Shell Kit, 3-Piece

No longer available at zZounds
The name says it all. This vintage-looking Ludwig kit combines 7-ply maple shells with 45-degree bearing edges that give it both sensitivity and warmth.

Professional drummers prefer the Ludwig Classic Maple because of its high sensitivity, wide dynamic tuning range and sharp attack. The 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. Ideal choice for any performance application.

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.

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 throughout 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.
