Take your drums anywhere with Ludwig's Breakbeats. Designed with help from Questlove, this shell kit is perfect for drummers without a lot of room to spare.

"I wanted to build a device that was apartment-friendly and compact for the street musician; but also something that was quality-sounding. A gritty, raw, 'break-able' kit for gigging in clubs that you can fit in a cab. Breakbeats by Questlove does it all."
- Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson (The Roots)

Make It Fit

Ludwig's Breakbeats by Questlove kit was designed with the city in mind. Positioned on a riser for optimum reach, its compact 14x16" bass drum, 7x10" tom, and 13x13" floor tom creates a set-up for sculpting grooves in tight spaces. It features Remo Pinstripe heads for pro-level tones, and comes with a multi-purpose bags for easy transport, and drum muting. The Breakbeats kit is available in White Sparkle, Black Sparkle, and Red Sparkle.

Break It Down

The tonal center of Breakbeats is a 5x14" matching wood snare drum. Create beats on the fly and make your voice heard at gigs, on the street, or in rehearsal.

Dial It In

Fitted with Remo heads, Breakbeats' 7-ply hardwood shells play like a full-sized kit; fusing low-end kick punch with focused tom and snare midrange.

Pack It Up

Packable, stackable, and portable, Breakbeats' compact size and included velvet storage bags make it ideal for the drummer on the move. Play it wide open or instantly change volume and tone by draping each bag over each drum.

I've been drumming for over 50 years. Professionally for over 40. I have always been a Ludwig fan. I have several Ludwig kits in various configurations. I purchased this kit for use with a classic cover band I was filling in with. After leaving that band I kept these setup in my basement for practicing. I put an Emad head on the kick and added a KickPort and the thing sounds great! I just joined another band and I'm about to order another one of these kits. That way I can leave the ones setup @ home and have one for the shows. Thanks Ludwig & zZounds!
