![]() They did, fresh out of the box.īut first let me say that a couple of other guys were checking it out, which let me hear it at a distance. I stopped by Guitar Center in Hollywood to see if they had a kit set-up. Now in a seriously strange turn of coincidence, it just so happens that my beloved girlfriend was in the process of knitting me a scarf that is guess what color? Well, not exactly, but pretty damn close…Īnd there you have it: the great quest for Questlove’s Breakbeat kit low-down has been solved, which means we can all: I have wanted Ludwig to come out with a cool little jazz kit for a long time, and if this it it and does the trick, I’m in. The 16″ kick comes with a riser, which sounds very interesting. Other than the small kick, my maple Centennials have very similar sizes. So, this little kit that I am looking forward to has a 5×14 snare, 10″ rack tom, 13″floor tim and a 16″ kick. I posted what I had just found on the Ludwig-Musser FB page with hopes of hearing more soon… and about 3 hours later, BAM! ![]() Okay, select wood it is… whatever that might be. Seriously, can you imagine your cell phone service being even remotely this helpful? So, he told me all he knew, and I really appreciated the fact that he took the time to do some legwork. “The literature we have… hmmm… says… made of select wood, 7-ply, imported, by the people who do the Elements series…” ![]() So, he did, with his headset in tow, and basically told me this: The very helpful guy on the other end of the phone said he didn’t know but that he would walk down to some office and find out. “Hi, I saw the new Questlove Breakbeats kit and was wondering if you could tell me what the shells were made of?” Time for Plan B: call Conn-Selmer, the parent company, in Elkhart, Indiana, and ask them. They’d be answering questions all day and night and have little time to make drums… They had it in the warehouse, but no info on the shells…Īllrighty… well then, why not just call Monroe, North Carolina and ask someone at the factory?Įasier said… seems that number is not exactly hung out on a shingle, which is understandable. Available in five stunning finishes, the Backbeat gives you Ludwig tradition and quality in a complete package at a price that's hard to beat.I then called Guitar Center in Hollywood. All hardware is double braced for extra strength and stability. ![]() ![]() The 7-ply hardwood shells with 45º bearing edges deliver a punch and tone that's versatile and will suit any style of music. Designed to give aspiring drummers a solid foundation at a great price, it includes a five piece shell pack, hi-hat and crash/ride cymbals, and a full set of hardware including stands, pedals and drum throne. The Backberat drum kit is a complete 5-piece drum set that comes with everything you need to hit the stage right out of the box. Ludwig offers a full line of drums and hardware desiged to meet the needs of the beginning student all the way to the professional touring and recording drummer. Their commitment to the highest quality standards is evident in everything they make. The company's sales skyrocketed as a result, and for the next 20 years, Ludwig became the biggest name in drums in the USA. For almost 110 years, Ludwig have been a world leader in the manufacture of drums and percussion products, becoming a household name in on Feb 9th, 1964 when 73 million people watched the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show, with the Ludwig logo clearly visible of the front of Ringo Starr's bass drum. ![]()
