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.
