DustyCowdog Yeah, acoustics are great if you don’t have to worry about the noise. That’s one advantage of the electronics. One benefit of playing drums as we get older is it reduces cognitive decline. There is a great video by Stephen Taylor here on KZfaq where he cites a study where learning new patterns on the drums is one of the best methods of staying sharp.

Handmade in a chinese assembly line is not the same lol. Especially since drums are so personal and your core instrument. Which sucks because Tama is just a killer when they stuck to Japanese production. Hate to it, I might go Ludwig or DW. Only other company that has my eye is Ocho Catorce out of Argentina.

I've been playing drums a long time, always played pearl, but during my long research into my next drumset, I have watched hundreds of videos and listened over and over to different kits, the biggest suprise to me is that the ludwigs have gained my no.1 spot, that maple sound the big drum sizes, and to me the ludwig sound incorporates the shell sound more than any other company. Nothing beats Remo coated heads on a ludwig classic maple Bohnam config. The only other company that has me on the fence is the gretsch brooklyn, in that oyster wrap with the 26 in kick, gretsch and Ludwig, two companies I never thought I would ever consider, are my guilty affair now lol, guess age and taste is changing....craziness, great video fellas ... The keystone x would blow up if they switched from oak to birch

Trends come and go in life and is as such with drums. There has been an onslaught of wood varieties but mighty maple is and has been the most popular wood type for drums for good reason. It's very hard to top its "well rounded" nature for a drum shell. I normally like to be different and as much as I'd like to choose something not so popular of the bunch.....the obvious is the "Classic Maple"! I do, however, love the dark and low sonic attributes of mahogany and as such love the hybrid maple/ mahogany shells made by that "other" famous company, which I won't mention, to be respectful being a Ludwig demonstration. This was tremendous fellows! Thank you!

I absolutely love all of them but my favorite has long been the Keystone X. I used to have one and it was my favorite kit I ever owned. Unfortunately I hit a rough patch in my life and had to sell them, but someday I will totally buy a set of them again. They just sound like the perfect rock/metal kit. Tones of attack and punch with just enough resonance to sound good but gets out of the way of itself quickly.

I bought my Touring kit from y'all back in 2014. Had it shipped to me in east Texas. Green sparkle classic maple in "Zep" sizes. I love it, but hate the higher overtones it puts off some times(you can hear them in this video too). I would love the legacy maple but honestly after listening to that through my westone in ear monitors... I'm truly in love with the club date shell sound. It sounds more full and rounded over all cutting out those high pesky overtones and leaving the great ones that will make sound techs drool while dreaming about them. It's literally the perfect blend between the legacy maple shell and classic maple shell. Thank You guys for doing this shootout video!!!!!! It truly helps those who don't have a reasonable reputable Ludwig drum dealer near buy to hear them all, pick which shell and kit speaks to them.

Superb! For once, someone finally made the video that "drums for dummies" can relate to. Thank you for taking the time to produce this video so people like me can hear and understand the difference between the 5 Ludwig kits. I knew mahogany was a darker wood in tone but had never noticed how much so until now. Huge low end and it didn't sound as resonant as the maple but maybe that's something that you can feel sitting behind the kit. For me, it's a coin toss between the Classic Maple and the Legacy Maple. I wouldn't be mad if I came to buy one and came home with the other! Thanks again guys!

I used to play an original 60s club date kit in college improv class. I was in love with that set. The only thing I don't like about the club dates are the center lugs. They made the drums look goofy to me. They sound out of this world.

You get an immediate good feel and reaction from the drums. Easy to tune as well. Oak and maple is a great combo, especially with the center bearing edge on maple.

Another fantastic video from the team I consider to be the best drum journalists on you tube. You answer all my questions each time, doing what the manufacturers should be doing as you do so. As for the drums, what a range! Such variety, in stark contrast to the Dw examples you did a while back which all sounded pretty much the same to me. Classic Maple every time as I can only justify having one kit. The dream would be to have it backed up with those awesome mahoganies though. Thanks again.

I own the Ludwig Legacy Maple. Absolutely love them. For me the order would be 1. Legacy Maple, 2. Legacy Mahogany 3. Classic Maple 4.Keystone X 5. Club Date. To me, the Ludwig Legacy Maple have the most iconic sounds I love from drummers like John Bonham and Ringo Starr.

When I think of drum set sounds, it's the Classic Maple shells I hear in my head. It's a joy to finally own this kit and play one every week at my band's practice. They have a gigantic tuning range and the 22x14 bass drum is so thumpy! Couldn't be happier in my life with an instrument.

You can't go wrong with maple. In this case the Classic Maple line for me.

Ok this is the best comparison video I’ve ever seen due to the fact you put the same heads and tuned the drums the same!!! Very well done!!

spectacular job fellas! I've had the Legacy Maple which I really liked, and I have, and had so many classic maples, which are some of my favorites all time. I really liked the club date as well- the look is not my style playing rock and country, but man, they do sound really good! This is why I love Ludwig, they are their own sound, and so much history behind them. Glad to see all the choices, can not really go wrong with any of them!

Great work. Appreciate all the videos you guys do. I’m a Pearl user but love all drums, and this vid spoke to the drum ‘geek’ in me .. Love it. Classic Maple was my favorite.
