The Classic Maple series is built with 7-ply, 6mm maple shells, designed for optimum resonance and projection. The combination of inner and outer two-ply panels with a three-ply core creates a full-bodied sound with a warm, natural tone. These shells offer a balanced mix of punch, depth, and sustain, making them suitable for various playing styles. Whether you're playing soft jazz or heavy rock, these shells respond dynamically to your playing, delivering clarity and definition at any volume.
Every Ludwig Classic Maple shell is crafted using Radio Frequency Shell Technology (RFST), a process that ensures consistent bonding and shell stability. This method, refined over decades, involves specialised adhesives and bladder molds to evenly cure the shells, preventing weak spots and ensuring durability. The result is a drum shell with enhanced resonance, sustain, and a consistent tone, allowing you to achieve a reliable and responsive sound in any setting.
The 45-degree bearing edges on each drum contribute to a wide tuning range and excellent sustain. By cutting the edge profile to within 1/16'' from the outer shell, Ludwig ensures maximum contact with the drumhead, allowing for a precise and articulate response. This design gives you the flexibility to tune high for a bright attack or low for a deep, resonant tone, perfect for adapting to different musical styles and performance environments.
Each bearing edge is carefully hand-sanded to create a smooth, even surface. This meticulous craftsmanship ensures that drumheads seat properly, leading to better tone, easier tuning, and a more consistent response across all playing dynamics. With its high-quality construction and attention to detail, the Classic Maple Exotic 22'' Fab 3pc Shell Pack delivers the unmistakable Ludwig sound with reliability and style.
