Overview
Loading a kit into a cab for a club gig is the job this Ludwig shell pack was designed around. Basswood shells in a lacquered Silver Sparkle finish come with a riser for the bass drum, and the stands and cymbals are left to the drummer.
Small footprint and a raw, gritty voice suit street players and club drummers short on space. Without listed drum sizes, buying heads, cases or matching hardware takes extra checking.
Who it's for
Club drummers, street musicians and apartment players get a small kit that travels light. New drummers without hardware would still need stands, a pedal, a throne and cymbals.
Pros and cons
- Compact enough to fit in a cab
- Riser included for the bass drum
- Basswood shells with lacquer finish
- Questlove signature design
- Drum sizes not listed
- Hardware, pedal and cymbals sold separately
Performance notes
Small shells tune higher and speak quickly, which gives the tight, breakable sound the kit aims for. The riser lifts the bass drum so the beater strikes nearer the center of the head, and head choice and tuning do most of the shaping.
