7-Ply Cross-Laminated North American Maple Shell The Classic Maple range of drums from Ludwig are the drum of preference by professionals worldwide. Renowned for their tonal versatility, the special 7-ply construction ensures a fast response to both the player and environment, allowing them to easily adapt to any play-style or musical preference. Precisely-Cut Bearing Edge The bearing edge on each Classic Maple shell has been precision-cut to a 45-degree angle, within 1/16" from the outer edge. This hand-sanded edge ensures a smooth, even, flat surface for easy head seating, helping produce that unmistakable Ludwig sound. RFST Moulding Ludwig's proprietary RSFT moulding process sees a centre three-ply core panel inserted between inner and outer two-ply panels, resulting in the Classic Maple set's standard 7-ply, 6mm shell that's been formulated for optimum resonance and tonality. The RFST itself refers to Radio Frequency Shell Technology, a technique utilised by Ludwig throughout the construction process on all of their USA shells. This technique is used to cure each shell evenly over its entire surface, and is a principal ingredient in the production of that famous "Ludwig Sound".

Everything you need in one box
Starting out can feel overwhelming, but this kit keeps things simple. You get a full five-piece shell pack alongside a cymbal set, hardware, and a throne, so there's no need to source extras separately. It's all matched to work together, helping you avoid compatibility issues and saving time during setup. Whether you're learning at home or building a practice space, you can get up and running quickly. And because everything is included, you can focus on playing rather than piecing your kit together.

Balanced sound for steady progress
The 5-ply hardwood shells are built to give you a clear, even tone across the kit. This makes it easier to hear your playing accurately as you practise, which is key when developing timing and control. The sound isn't overly coloured, so it works well across different styles while you're still exploring. It's a dependable foundation that supports consistent improvement, helping you understand how each drum responds and fits within your overall sound.

Responsive feel for confident tuning
With 45-degree bearing edges, each drum offers a reliable and consistent response. This design helps the drumheads sit evenly, making tuning more straightforward, especially if you're still learning the basics. You'll notice a smoother feel when playing, along with better control over tone and sustain. That means less time adjusting and more time playing, which is exactly what you want when building confidence behind the kit.

Classic sizes with strong low-end
The included 22" bass drum brings a solid low-end presence that anchors your playing. Paired with a 16" floor tom, two rack toms, and a 14" snare, the configuration feels familiar and comfortable to sit behind. It's a layout many drummers stick with long-term, so you're learning on a setup that translates easily to other kits. The result is a practical, versatile arrangement that supports both practice and early performance situations.
