Resonant All-Maple Shells Crafted With Ludwig's Signature Methods

At the core of the Classic Maple Downbeat kit are Ludwig's 7-ply, 6 mm all-maple shells. The proprietary manufacturing techniques allow precise control over the wood's vibrations for Ludwig's signature tone. The shells use a 3-ply inner core sandwiched between 2-ply outer plies. Ludwig's Radio Frequency Shell Technology evenly cures the wood for stability across the drum. The precision 45-degree bearing edges provide a wide tuning range and maximum sustain. When you play the Classic Maple Downbeat kit, you'll feel the resonant maple shells come alive.
