The Ludwig Classic Maple special edition 3-piece Fab shell pack with 22" bass drum revives the feel of Ludwig’s most recognizable maple stage kits. Handcrafted in Monroe, North Carolina, each shell is built from 7-ply North American maple using Ludwig’s Radio Frequency Shell Technology for stability, roundness and open musical resonance. The Fab configuration—13x9" rack tom, 16x16" floor tom and 22x14" bass drum—delivers full-bodied projection with balanced mids and a punchy, rounded low end that sits easily in live mixes and studio recordings. Finished in Ludwig’s exclusive Vintage Aqua Sparkle wrap, this 22" maple drum kit pairs timeless style with reliable modern construction for drummers who value tone, durability and classic visual impact.
Maple Shells Crafted With Precision and Power
Each Classic Maple shell uses 7-ply North American maple, chosen for even response and natural projection across a wide tuning range. Bonded using Ludwig’s RFST process, the shells maintain roundness under tension while allowing resonance to stay lively and expressive. Whether tuned high for crisp articulation or low for a warm, vintage-style thump, these drums speak clearly with the balanced attack and smooth sustain that define Ludwig maple tone.
Fab Configuration Channels Classic Energy
The 13x9" rack tom and 16x16" floor tom offer articulate stick response with comfortable sustain, while the 22x14" bass drum provides wide, focused lows that support a mix without overpowering it. This Fab setup echoes Ludwig’s historic rock and studio kits, refined with modern consistency for today’s players. It’s a versatile, rock-ready configuration that projects confidently on stage and records with clarity in the studio.
Vintage Aqua Sparkle Finish Shines With Heritage
Ludwig’s exclusive Vintage Aqua Sparkle wrap delivers a dimensional shimmer that recalls the company’s mid-century stage aesthetic. Its turquoise-to-blue-green hues shift under lighting, highlighting hardware accents and cast brass badges with clean, classic detail. The wrap is sealed for long-term durability, preserving both its brilliance and protective function through travel, rehearsals and performance.
Hardware Designed for Stability and Expression
Triple-flange 2.3 mm hoops provide natural sustain and tuning consistency, while Elite bass drum spurs keep the kick stable at any volume. Vintage-inspired tube lugs maintain even tension with a refined look, and Ludwig’s mounting systems ensure secure, rattle-free placement during setup and breakdown. Each component is built to support expressive playing without compromising reliability.
