[A used Ludwig Legacy Maple Snare Drum, featuring a vintage style, has arrived!] -Ludwig Drum Company- The Ludwig Drum Company was founded in Chicago in 1909 by brothers Theo and William Ludwig. They manufactured the world's first practical foot pedal, and this success led to the establishment of a prestigious drumming company. The expertise cultivated since our founding continues to be passed down, providing a balance of tradition and innovation to meet the demands of artists around the world. Ludwig's flagship professional drum line, Legacy Maple, is handcrafted at Ludwig USA in Monroe, North Carolina. The shell is made of a 3-ply construction of maple + poplar + maple with a solid maple reinforcement ring. This shell design debuted in 1968 and symbolized the second generation of Ludwig's traditional 3-ply shell. Although it was a short-lived design that only lasted until 1976, its sound has been recorded in numerous legendary performances that have left their mark on music history. The series subsequently gained a passionate following and led to its return to the forefront of Ludwig's professional drum line. The Legacy series, which produces a pure and balanced sound, revives the distinctive sound that set the standard for popular music throughout the 20th century. The Legacy snare drum produces a rounded, rich tone and deep bass range while moderately suppressing overtones. It features a thick, focused attack. It's ideal for those seeking a classic, solid tone. This is a masterpiece with a controlled vintage sound that blends naturally into the ensemble. It features a 3-ply construction with 1/16 maple on the outer and inner layers, and a 1/8 poplar core, plus a 1/4-inch solid maple reinforcement ring. The edge has a 1/8-inch radius rounded 30-degree inner cut. The key to the Legacy's classic tone lies in its cross-laminated American poplar center ply, which highlights the vibrant resonance of the inner and outer maple woods. This unique shell construction is further enhanced with a rounded bearing edge reinforced with a solid maple ring for added stability.
