The Ludwig Centennial Zep Set Shell Pack offers a foundation setup that can be finished with the hardware and cymbals of your choice. It can also expanded with add-on drums, clamps, and holders, if you wish. When paired with high-quality cymbals and hardware, the Centennial Zep Set Shell Pack offers an idyllic experience for advanced drummers, thriving in the studio and on the stage.
The Ludwig Centennial features high-quality 6-ply North American maple shells providing all-purpose tones with an even level of highs, mids and incredibly warm lows. Maple shells are extremely popular due to their tonal versatility, providing creative freedom for players. They provide enough attack to drive through the mix, without creating a distorted or aggressive tone. This creates a melodic sound which blends beautifully with other instruments present.
In the studio, these shells guarantee the professional quality that us drummers desire. Where some post-production may be necessary, the maple shells offer an incredibly wide tuning range to allow you to find the perfect tone for your mix.
Natural resonance and superior tone is ensured by the undrilled 26'' x 14'' bass drum. An undrilled bass drum is a kick drum without a central mounting system for rack toms, preventing unwanted noise during your performance. Although the difference is certainly nuanced, for the more advanced player in a studio environment, this could make a huge difference when it comes to editing and EQ’ing.
The Ludwig Centennial is fitted with high-quality, durable hardware including triple-flanged hoops and classic Ludwig lugs. Both of these provide reliable and consistent tuning each time you play, while they add extra resonance and clarity to the tone itself. These shells are also fitted with vibraband suspension rims to enhance the resonance of the kit even further – when these drums are hit, you really know about it. On the bass drum, the die-cast bass drum claws and telescopic spurs provide balance and consistency across the body of the drum.
This shell pack features a smooth and aesthetically pleasing transparent black finish which scores with any audience.
