As Ludwig’s flagship professional drum line, Legacy Maple is a decidedly modern twist on our vintage shell formula. This is shell design came to prominence in 1968 marking the second generation of the iconic Ludwig 3-Ply shell formula. It was a short-lived design lasting only until 1976 but captured on some of music’s most iconic performances. This would influence a massive cult following in the years to that followed, prompting its return to the forefront of Ludwig’s professional line of drums. A cult-classic sound that offers a bright presence, full-body low-end, and exceptional focus.
