Ludwig 20/12/14" Classic Maple Downbeat Drum Set - Tri-Band Gold/Blue/Gold Sparkle

Here is a brand new limited edition set of Ludwig Classic Maple drums finished in Tri-Band sparkle wrap! This Downbeat features the gold, blue, gold Tri-band sparkle and is sized 14x20", 8x12", and 14x14". An Atlas bracket is included with this set that can be used to mount the 8x12".

Steve's Notes: NEW FROM LUDWIG: We have two sets in stock and ready to ship, both 8x12, 14x14, 14x20. The other set is red/gold/red - see them together in the last photo of our photoset! Tri-band is a mix of finishes on one drum. This was often used in the 60's-70's for marching drums to match school colors, but was also available on sets via special order. Dino Danelli of the Rascals loved the Tri-band idea with his silver sparkle/black cortex/silver sparkle kit. Matching snares will be available soon - reserve yours now!

More info from Ludwig on their Classic Maple series drums:

"Classic Maple's standard 7-ply, 6mm shell is formulated for optimum resonance and tonality. Its center three-ply core panel (laminated in a horizontal/vertical/horizontal grain bond to a 2.4mm thickness,) is inserted between inner and outer two-ply panels through our proprietary RFST molding process. To increase stability through out the drum, all Ludwig USA shells are produced using Radio Frequency Shell Technology. Using a process involving our historic bladder molds that date back to the late 1960's, R.F.S.T.'s unique bonding system -combined with a specialized, time-tested adhesive - cures each shell evenly over the entire surface of the shell. This process is truly a principal ingredient in creating the "Ludwig Sound" in every shell we make. Each drum's bearing edge is cut to a 45-degree angle within 1/16" from the outside edge. This profile is critical for a wide tuning range, and maximum sustain. The edge is hand-sanded to the craftsman's touch to assure a smooth, even, flat surface for easy head seating; the final touch to complete the unmistakable Ludwig Sound."
