Ludwig Ultimate Marching Bass Drums are
designed for modern marching groups, featuring 6-ply North American
Maple shells, 10-ply hoops, and oversized tension claws.
Maple brings high sensitivity, a wide
tuning range, and a biting attack to your bass line. Each drum is
constructed with 45-degree bearing edges with a 1/8" radius
round over, finally hand-sanded to assure a completely flat surface
to seat the head correctly.
A bladder mold and a special adhesive
lets the shells cure evenly across the entire surface. This unique
method make the shells incredibly strong to hold up under immense
tuning pressure.
FINISHES
Black (B), white (W), and silver (S)
laminate finishes are integrated into the shell molding process,
making them the most durable finish on the market.
Custom lacquer (L) finishes available
via special order.
Hardware
The redesigned casing includes a
smaller profile and a 60% reduction in weight. All while maintaining
the signature Ludwig look.
