Legacy Mahogany from Ludwig is the drum tone you’ve been hearing for decades on classic recordings from jazz to rock. The key to this classic tone begins with a cross-laminated American poplar center ply to lend focus to the warm rich low-end "woody" tones of inner/outer mahogany plies. To be specific, this includes a 1/16" mahogany outer ply, 1/8" poplar core ply, 1/16" mahogany inner ply with 1/4" solid maple reinforcement rings. This unique shell combination is further stabilized by a specially rounded bearing edge with 1/4" solid maple reinforcement rings.
