As Ludwig's flagship professional drum line, Legacy Maple is a decidedly modern twist on our 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.
This particular kit has been custom picked and ordered by our drum specialist Jackie James Barnes and features a Fab Shell pack with included matching Snare Drum. We also optioned for a Vintage White Marine inlay on the Bass Drum hoops to add even more class to an already beautiful kit. It's very rare to see a Legacy Maple kit make it to Australian stores dominated by the Classic Maple kits. Come on by Mooloolaba Music and check this gorgeous and rare kit.

The key to Legacy's classic tone begins with a cross-laminated American Poplar center ply to lend focus to the vibrant resonance of inner/outer Maple plies. This unique shell combination is further stabilized by a specially-rounded bearing edge with single-ply reinforcement rings.
30 Degree inner cut with a 1/4" radius round over
Producing a pure, well-rounded sonic footprint, Legacy Series revives the distinctive sound that set the standard for popular music throughout the 20th Century.
Ludwig's 3-ply shell formula was unveiled in 1923; at the time touted as being built "...in accordance with the recognized correct principles used in the manufacture of airplanes." This classic construction evolved into a sound that captured the attention of generations of drummers.
The 3-ply Legacy Maple formula was implemented in 1968 to compliment settings demanding greater volume and projection. The result was the Classic Ludwig sound augmented with more focus and presence.
