The Ludwig Drum Company has been making industry leading drums for a long time. A very long time. From their humble 1909 beginnings to their modern factories, they've been a leading force in the drum world because of a simple, top-priority focus: The Sound.

For the last 100 years drummers of all walks of life have trusted in the Ludwig vision and sat behind kits that, put plainly; sound incredible. After all, they're the guys that brought us some of the most sought after snare drums in the world. From the the "one-and-only" Ludwig Black Beauties with brass shells to the workhorse Supra-Phonic models, Ludwig has always been on the cutting edge of quality and progress.

Power Series

It is with this same devotion to quality and sound that Ludwig approaches their Ludwig Accent CS Power Series. Perfect for the serious beginner and the intermediate player on a tight budget, these high-quality drums are designed with the same passion and exacting specifications that Ludwig players have come to love.

The shells are 9 ply 8mm select veneers with the choice of White, Wine Red, Blue, Purple or Black wrapped finishes. The drum sizes themselves are all industry-standard and include a 16x22 inch bass drum, 16x16 inch floor tom, 10x12 inch and 11x13 inch rack toms and a 6.5x14 inch matching-finish snare drum.

Comes Prepared

Rather than just ship you the drum shells and stick you with the job of trying to find all the hardware and "extras," Ludwig made sure to include some of their rugged, double-braced hardware. There's a snare drum stand, cymbal stand, hi-hat stand, post-style tom holder and even a throne and bass drum pedal! The hardware is sturdy and fully adjustable so you have the freedom to set the drums up in the way most suitable for your size and playing style.

Ludwig's Accent drum sets are quickly growing in popularity because they deliver the same quality and sound that Ludwig fans expect without breaking the bank. If you're going to start playing drums, do it with a drum company that's been around the block a few times...Put your trust in kit that other's have trusted for decades. Put your trust in the Ludwig Accent CS Power Series. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Ludwig products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (193 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Great beginner set or 2nd practice set !!"
Overall: A guitar player friend of mine got these for his kids for christmas and asked me to come buy and tune them up and check them out to see if he got a good deal. I have been a drummer for for over 25 years and owned several kits from top of the line to junk, accoustic and electronic alike. Now to get to the point it just took a little proper tuning and a blanket in the kick drum, also i added some remo rings that i brought from home (they cost under $10) to the snare and toms and the kit sounded way better. there really isn't any big need to go drop $50-150 bucks on new heads, just play the stock heads untill they wareout and replace with nice coated heads or whatever your'e preference is. My friend paid $500 and a little change for a brand new set that came with all the light duty hardware, i.e. stands, pedals,throne and beginner zildjian zbt 13" high hats, 14" crash and 18" crash/ride (he did have to buy 1 extra cymbal stand). We played for a few hours and the drums stayed in tune, and after we where done i re-set up the kit for his young children to play,i found it to be very adjustable for small children(5ish in age to adults). Over all in my opinion the review title says it all,and for the cheap price of the shell kit you can save money, buy nice cymbals and have a decent sounding kit !! the following star ratings are based on what you get for the price and my experience with ludwigs.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Lottsa bang, little bucks."
Sound: Not too bad straight out of the box. I'd recommend immediately replacing the top heads with something less twangy (depending on your style, maybe Remo Powerstrokes?), especially the kick. The kick drum needs a good pillow and you need to cut a hole if you'll be miking it. Feature: All the manufacturers seem to market the identical set of Chinese-made, entry-level shells & hoops with slightly varying hardware and tom mounting. The high hat & kick pedals aren't bad and the stands are addequate. The major ommission is a boom stand for the ride cymbal - I can't imagine why they don't include this. One more gripe is the tom mounts. You can't really get them closer than about 4 inches, and need to angle them quite a bit do do that. Quality: Great for the money. No issues. Value: When I shopped for these (late '04) they were definitely the best value. Having played them a little, I still consider them a great deal. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: I got the red. They're pretty "normal" looking. But with a decent set of cymbals and some new top heads they're stage-worthy. Overall: I got these for my daughter, who's just starting seriously playing. No doubt she'll upgrade hardware as she goes along, but I expect the shells to last until she's ready (to spend her own money) for a custom-finish set.
