LUDWIG Classic Maple 26", 13", 16", 18" Green Sparkle. Used.

A gorgeous drum set, used but in near-pristine condition. 26"x14", 13"x10", 16"x16", 18"x16", Green Sparkle wrap. Included in the set are Stefy Line cases for the four drums and four replacement bass drum heads: two Ludwig front heads (one white, one black) and two Remo batter (Powerstroke 3 Coated and Powerstroke 4 Clear).

The size and color immediately bring to mind one of the sets used by John Bonham, although here we have the 13" tom instead of the 15". The set that Ludwig offered some time ago under the name "Zep Set" featured the 14" tom instead. An identical set was played by Jason Sutter, a drummer who has collaborated with Marilyn Manson, the New York Dolls and Chris Cornell.

The Classic Maple line is one of the top-of-the-line models in the Ludwig catalog; handcrafted at Ludwig USA's headquarters in Monroe, North Carolina, it has been the professional's choice for over 20 years.

The shells are made of 7-ply, 6mm maple with a 45° bearing edge, ensuring optimal resonance and tone. The three-ply core panel (laminated with a horizontal/vertical/horizontal grain up to a thickness of 2.4mm) is sandwiched between the two-ply inner and outer panels using the exclusive RFST molding process.

The full tone, rich sustain, and exceptional versatility have made this series the premier choice for any performing application. Using a process refined over a century of drum making, Classic Maple drums preserve the signature Ludwig sound with optimal performance.

This drum kit certainly fits into the 70s Rock genre, but would it be so absurd to imagine it (with an appropriate change of heads and tuning) in a 30s/40s Jazz Big Band?
