Ludwig
Description

Compact by design and full of musical character, the Classic Maple Jazzette 3-piece shell pack is built for drummers who value feel, control and expressive nuance over sheer size. Crafted in the United States using Ludwig’s trusted Classic Maple shell formula, this configuration pairs an 18x14" bass drum with a 12x8" rack tom and 14x14" floor tom, creating a tight footprint that still delivers confident presence. Each drum is constructed from 7-ply maple shells formed to a 6 mm thickness and built using Ludwig’s RFST Radio Frequency Shell Technology molding process, ensuring even curing and long-term shell stability. Precision 45-degree bearing edges allow notes to respond quickly and breathe naturally, making the Jazzette a focused, musical option for close-mic studio work and smaller performance spaces.

Classic Maple Shells With Quick Response and Musical Control

The Jazzette shell pack is built around Ludwig’s Classic Maple construction, a formula valued for its balance, articulation and dynamic sensitivity. Seven plies of maple formed to a 6 mm thickness deliver an immediate, honest response under the sticks, while precision 45-degree bearing edges help notes open up smoothly with controlled sustain. This combination allows the shells to speak clearly at lower volumes while maintaining enough body and projection for expressive playing, making the Jazzette especially well suited for nuanced styles and dynamic control.

Finish Options and Hardware That Stay True to Ludwig’s Roots

The Classic Maple Jazzette is offered in a range of Ludwig finishes, including Hybrid Sparkle variants, allowing players to choose a visual identity that fits their setup without overshadowing the sound. Steel hardware and triple-flange hoops support open resonance and dependable tuning stability, while branded heads provide a familiar feel right out of the box. Together, these details reinforce the Jazzette’s role as a compact, expressive shell pack designed to deliver classic Ludwig tone in a size that favors precision, feel and musicality.
