Ludwig Legacy Maple 3-Piece Drum Set - Green Sparkle
As Ludwig's flagship professional drum line, Legacy Maple is a decidedly modern twist on their vintage shell formula. This is shell design came to prominence in 1968 marking the second generation of the iconic Ludwig 3-Ply shell formula. It was a short-lived design lasting only until 1976 but captured on some of music's most iconic performances. This would influence a massive cult following in the years to that followed, prompting its return to the forefront of Ludwig's professional line of drums. A cult-classic sound that offers a bright presence, full-body low-end, and exceptional focus.
Hand-crafted at Ludwig USA in Monroe, NC.
When we were designing this kit, we wanted to capture the spirit of the golden ages of rock. The 14x26 kick drum gives it's player a powerful and thunderous pocket. The 9x13 and 16x16 toms were chosen to perfectly compliment the larger-than-life sound that this kit has. We went with a Green Sparkle wrap as our way of paying homage to the Ludwig kit that John Bonham used from 1970-73 - and it was often said that the Green Sparkle was his favorite of all the kits that he owned throughout his life.
