Moving into the company's 100th Anniversary in 2009, Ludwig Drum Co. proudly introduces new Centennial Series Maple Drums. An to answer the demands of today's touring drummer, Centennial Series Drums start with 6-ply (toms and floor toms,) and 8-ply (snare and bass drums) North American Maple shells. Augmented with Ludwig's new Classic Micro-Lug, Vibra-band mounting system on toms, and 2.3 mm drum hoops, Centennial Series presents the road-worthy player with new ways to expand their spectrum of tone.
Centennial's three "Core" shell packs each come standard with a bass drum (20 in., 22 in., or 24 in., each with a 20 in. depth for added low and punch,) a 12 in. rack tom, 16 in. floor tom, and snare drum; where it goes from there is up to the player. Finish options include transparent high-gloss and Ludwig’s new 2mm SuperFlake Sparkle Lacquers, for a spectacular look to augment Centennial’s massive sound.
Pure Maple Tone for the Touring Road
Choose from two new Sparkle Lacquer finishes for stellar appearance, or two high-gloss transparent lacquers for the traveling purist. Expandable to fit the needs of any playing style, Centennial Series Drums are Ludwig's answer to the battle-cry of the mobile percussionist.
