Delivering legendary maple drum tones is a storied and highly coveted strand of Ludwig’s DNA, and its exemplary Legacy Maple shell pack proves it. Harkening back to that original 1968 3-ply formula of maple-poplar-maple, the Legacy Maple demonstrates its namesake’s enviable warmth and superb definition while allowing its poplar core to boost its fullness and subtly brighten the attack. The result? We’ll let history speak for itself! Aiding its fabulous organics are 1/4-inch maple reinforcement rings and Ludwig’s exclusive Legacy bearing edge design for a fat, pure, and projective punch. Fitted with widely tunable triple-flanged hoops, the Legacy Maple beautifully melds steadfast performance with effortless style.
Coveted 3-ply formula
Ludwig’s been sporting stellar 3-ply shells since the early '20s, but officially introduced its soon-to-be world-renowned poplar-sandwiched-maple recipe in 1968 — and the rest, as they say, is history! Why so many drumming greats came to crave its construction isn’t hard to decipher; its idealistic combination of maple’s traditional warmth and gut-punching character rounds out with frequential flawlessness when accompanied by a poplar core. Strengthened in round and resonance by solid reinforcement rings of 1/4-inch maple and further shaved with Legacy bearing edges that sport 30-degree inner cuts and a 1/4-inch radius round over, this shell pack responds with a perfectly purified touch that only Ludwig can conjure.
Primed to perform
While its exceptional shells percuss with glorious appeal, the Legacy Maple’s hardware outfit ensures a playability that will thrive onstage risers and track in the studio with assuredness. Its triple-flanged hoops offer incredible tuning flexibility to accommodate virtually any tension that your sound calls for, reducing the weight of your kit while simultaneously offering a safer landing zone for your drumsticks. Topped with an anchoring of Classic lugs and those iconic Ludwig badges, this Legacy Maple is pure class through and through.
