Ludwig Breakbeats by Questlove (Lilac Sparkle) LC279Q3

Breakbeats

Built for the Beat of the Street.

Designed in collaboration with legendary drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, the Ludwig Breakbeats kit packs punch, portability, and personality into a street-smart shell pack made to move with your rhythm.

Whether you're gigging in tight spaces, practicing at home, or busking on the corner, Breakbeats delivers full-size tone in a scaled-down setup that’s easy to travel with and hard to ignore.

"I wanted to build a device that was apartment-friendly and compact for the street musician; but also something that was quality-sounding. A gritty, raw, 'break-able' kit for gigging in clubs that you can fit in a cab. Breakbeats by Questlove does it all."

- Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson (The Roots)

Make It Fit

Breakbeats was designed with the city in mind. Positioned on a riser for optimum reach, its compact 14x16" bass drum, 7x10" tom, and 13x13" floor tom creates a set-up for sculpting grooves in tight spaces.

Break It Down

The tonal center of Breakbeats is a 5x14" matching wood snare drum. Create beats on the fly and make your voice heard at gigs, on the street, or in rehearsal.

Dial It In

Breakbeats' 7-ply hardwood shells play like a full-sized kit; fusing low-end kick punch with focused tom and snare midrange.

The Breakbeats kit comes with a tom mount only. The depicted hardware and cymbals are not included.
