ludwig classic maple

Hello everyone, I've been searching for used drum kits online and came across what appears to be a vintage Ludwig Classic Maple that I really liked: According to the listing, the sizes are: 24x14 13x9 14x10 16x16 18x16 One of the toms is missing from the pictures, the owner mentioned that...

I currently own a Gretsch Broadkaster kit (12, 16, 20) and I'm not totally into the round-over bearing-edges. I also have a hard time making them sing when I tune them up a little. Especially the 5 lug 12x8 tom. Tuned low they sound great though. Now I'm looking for a kit in Downbeat-sizes (12...

I started this thread about a Ludwig Classic Maple kit I bought about 8 weeks ago or something now. https://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164794 Ludwig sent me 2 different replacement bass drums, and both (the original included for a total of 3) had the same issue. What...

Waiting for delivery on a new Ludwig Classic Maple kit. Checking out case options as I wait. Looking at images of the Ludwig floor tom leg mounts, it appears the drum may not fit easily into a case of the same dimensions. In other words, because of those leg mounts, would a 16"X16" be better off...

Hello! Just had to share my latest drum experience. I'm a gigging drummer in the Boston area with gigs almost every weekend year 'round. For the past couple of years I've been gigging mostly with a mid '80s Yamaha Recording Custom (22, 12, 15). My snare is typically a '60s Ludwig Supraphonic...

I have a 16x22 Ludwig Classic Maple bass drum that has been giving me a really hard time. It has a problem where it sort of has this sound to it that sounds similar to bouncing a basketball. It seems to be coming from the batter head. It's got a Powerstroke 3 batter with a muffling felt and...

Appreciate the input from folks regarding ordering custom drums. Very helpful. I think I'm going to go with Soupy's advice and try and find a dealer with the big sizes I want in stock, compare prices and "pull the trigger" as harryconway suggests. I'm asking for suggestions on drum shops...

I recently scored a used set of ludwig classic maples; they are about six months old and they are gorgeous. The only problem is that they sound like I am hitting a basketball when I hit them hard. The floor toms have one air hole while the rack toms have two. The shells are very thin -...
