The hallmark of the Ludwig sound has always begun with the shell. As we enter the 100th year of our manufacturing history, Ludwig returns to its roots by experimenting with multiple-species shell composition, for new horizons in tonal variety. The result is Epic, a new series of drums crafted for every player from the gigging workhorse to the seasoned pro.

Walnut/Maple/Walnut Inner and Outer, Poplar Core, 3-ply Reinforcement Rings
Segmented shell crafting is an exciting concept that incorporates the dark quality
of Walnut inner/outer plies fused with the warmth of North American Maple inner/outer plies to create a whole new tonal as well as visual experience. This magic combination combined with 3-ply Birch reinforcement rings and Poplar core plies results in a sound and look that is unparalleled in drum making. The perfect balance between rumbling lows and sparkling highs is achieved with the Epic X-Over Striped Series.

Walnut Inner/Outer, Poplar Core, 3-ply Birch Reinforcement Rings
American Walnut is known not only for its dark color and grain, but also for its deep
tonality and warmth. The new Epic X-Over expands on darker overtones by employing a Poplar core to an inner and outer Walnut shell. 3-ply Birch reinforcement rings are
added for extra definition and focus, resulting in a sound that speaks in the lower register with power and clarity.
