I bought a Fab 4 kit with a BOS finish in 2003 for around $1300. I've added on a 12" and 10" since then. Snare is the best snare ever!

Nice drum set. The Classic Maple series are great drums ! I got my 2nd Classic Maple Set and I've never been dissapointed. Great sound !!! Congrats....have fun !

That’s a fantastic color !! Best I think I’ve seen yet.

Literally just placed my order for the same set up in the Orange Glitter finish. So stoked to play Ludwigs, thanks for making this video and making me even more excited!

Man, you have very good knowledge about Ludwig drums. Very enjoyable video.

Gorgeous finish! 💖

I find it funny that I'm gonna buy an Alesis Nitro Mesh kit but I'm watching Ludwig unboxings and drum setups,anyways really good video! :)

I really like this finish, also the yellow, and olive sparkle wraps, all discontinued of course! (2024)

Marry Christmas.ludwig rock’s 😀

Great video Mike! I only have 2 snares: One is a 5x14 Supra from ‘73 and the other is last year’s model 6.5x14 CM in Gold Sparkle. Best wood snare I’ve ever played!

Awesome color. Just love Ludwig & Zildjain series A custom cymbals!

Great video! Beautiful kit! Ludwig’s are exceptional! Their hardware is great! Z A customs are bomb! 😊🥁

That finish is gorgeous.

beatiful drum, greetings from Peru

I bought a red sparkle 3 piece kit (14x24, 9x13,x16x16) earlier this year and have loved every minute I've played it. It's easy to tune. Listening to playbacks of rehearsal sessions blows my mind at how good these drums sound. I get compliments on their sound every time I play out with them. I can't say enough good things about the Classic Maples. I have an early 70s 3-ply Ludwig kit and have owned a few 70s and 80s 6-ply Ludwig kits, as well as Tama Starclassic kits. These thin Ludwig 7-ply shells sound better than any kit I've played.

Yeah man I love the video! I found it because I searched for turquoise glitter. The finish is so unique! Just wanted to comment on your comment about the Keystone X kit. There isn’t much, of any, different in volume and it can be versatile. I liken the keystone series to DW’s performance series but I think the keystone series hasn’t picked up a ton of ground because of the allure of the classic maple. But the keystone series is pretty awesome. I know that billy freeman with Dustin Lynch and Donnie Marple with Lee Brice uses the keystone kit. They get overlooked but I think they’re kind of Ludwig’s best kept secret lol! Rock on, man!

Great drums. The ones I would like someday. 😇😇😇

Beautiful kit!

Congratulations good choice 👍

Awesome. I want one like that

Nice kit. I like the Supraphonic Snare Drum Myself. But yours was free , so you can’t complain

Beautiful kit. 14" floor tom sounds awesome. What are the other two drums you have on order? 10" and 12"? Nice Zildjian A cymbal pack and the Atlas hardware pack was a good move too. Sweet. I have three Ludwig kits and I love them all. Way more than my DW kit.

Nice video! I might be doing the same thing later on this year, fingers crossed!

Nice kit.

i just ordered a fab kit in quilted makore, I'll consider doing an unboxing video once they arrive.

Well nice packed….some big money drums is just the box/drum,no bag or foams support.

Nice congrats

I'm not a Ludwig guy, but the kit is beautiful & the video is nice..

"Very cool stuff Mike" you are certainly a man with "Great Taste" both in drums & selection of cymbals. "Kudo's 2U / I to am a Ludwig & Zildjian man "Truly is there any others :) Cheers John

I'm really close to getting this exact kit. I'm torn between the 14x22, 16x22, and 14x24 bass drum. I can't make up my mind!

Ciao. Scrivo dall Italia. Complimenti, questo KIT è fantastico....questo " colore" è incredibilmente bello. Il mese scorso ho acquistato un kit simile ( 22", 13" ,16" ) white marine.....l ho acquistato " usato" ed è stato prodotto nel 2021 o forse nel 2022......fortunatamente è in ottime condizioni . Oggi un kit simile, nuovo ,costa 3500€ ....volevo chiederti quanto costava all epoca del tuo acquisto? Grazie....un saluto dall Italia.

Nice cans. I don,t like the clear heads! Can you order with coated ambassadors??? Big bucks ,they should come the way you want! Or I want !

I have the exact same kit from SW. my snare is a White Marine Pearl because they didn’t have the matching turquoise. Do these drums sing or what? My snare has the old strainer, piece of junk. Broke in less than a year.

I thought at the intro an episode of Roseanne was coming on!

What are your comments and criticism now after having them for awhile?

You should have played them. Did Sweetwater put candy in the boxes? I didn't see any.

that is a beautiful kit. Currently I'm torn between a Classic Maple, Classic Maple Legacy or a Gretsch Brooklyn kit.

Nice kit! I wish Ludwig would provide an extra lug to replace that, IMO, ugly atlas lug.

Shazam! wish you would have shredded ......nice kit!...

Nice-looking drums too much talkin take a stick and knock the shit out of um that's what everyone was waiting for. We need to hear what they sound like out of the box.

You didn't even fucking play'em!
