collapse expand iconDescription

The Ludwig Maple Exotic 4-Piece Studio Shell Pack with 22" Bass Drum is a masterclass in craftsmanship and sonic performance. Featuring a 7-ply maple shell construction, this drum kit delivers warm, resonant tones with impressive depth and clarity, perfect for capturing every nuance of your playing. The outer veneer, crafted from rare Ambrosia maple, showcases unique grain patterns that make each kit truly one of a kind. Finished with a durable poly-glass lacquer, the kit is available in three striking burst finishes—Amethyst Burst, Black Gold Burst, and Nocturne Burst—each accented with sleek black nickel hardware for a bold, sophisticated look. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this shell pack offers a dynamic and responsive sound that shines in both studio and live performance settings.

7-Ply Maple Shells For Superior Tone

The foundation of this drum kit lies in its 7-ply maple shells, which are renowned for their warm, balanced tonal character. Maple is prized for its ability to produce a full-bodied sound with well-rounded lows, clear mids, and articulate highs, making it an ideal choice for professional-grade drums. The shell design enhances projection and resonance, ensuring that every hit is powerful yet controlled. Whether you're recording in the studio or performing live, these maple shells provide the tonal depth and clarity needed to cut through the mix while maintaining dynamic sensitivity.

Ambrosia Maple Veneer For Stunning Visual Appeal

The Ambrosia maple outer veneer is the visual centerpiece of this Ludwig drum kit. Known for its striking, natural grain patterns, Ambrosia maple gives each drum a distinctive, one-of-a-kind appearance. Paired with the poly-glass lacquer finish, the veneer gains a three-dimensional depth that catches the light beautifully onstage or in the studio. Available in three elegant burst finishes, this shell pack is as much a statement piece as it is a performance instrument. The veneer not only adds visual flair but also enhances the resonance and overall tonal complexity of the drums.

Black Nickel Hardware For A Modern Edge

Complementing the vibrant finishes, the black nickel hardware adds a sleek, contemporary touch to this drum kit. The hardware is both visually striking and built for durability, providing reliable performance even under heavy use. The tension rods, lugs, and hoops are designed to maintain consistent tuning, ensuring your drums stay pitch-perfect throughout extended sessions or performances. This attention to detail in the hardware not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures that the kit can handle the demands of professional drumming.

Studio Configuration For Versatile Performance

This 4-piece shell pack is configured with a 22x16" bass drum, 10x7" and 12x8" rack toms, and a 16x16" floor tom, making it ideal for a wide range of drumming applications. The studio-sized bass drum provides a tight, punchy low end, while the smaller tom sizes offer quick, articulate tones with plenty of attack. This balanced configuration is designed for players who need precision and versatility, whether laying down tracks in the studio or taking the stage. The shell pack's thoughtful design ensures that every drum fits seamlessly into your setup.

A Statement Kit For Professional Drummers

With its exceptional build quality, breathtaking aesthetics, and dynamic tonal range, the Ludwig Maple Exotic 4-Piece Studio Shell Pack is the ultimate choice for drummers who demand the best. The lightweight yet resonant shells, combined with visually stunning finishes and premium hardware, make this kit a joy to play and a centerpiece for any stage or studio.
