Ludwig

[xX_selkiesteo_Xx]

Do any of you know of any metal drummers that use ludwig... and when i say metal i mean stuff like The Agony Scene, Children Of Bodom, As I Lay Dying... not Led Zeppelin... cuz i was just lookin at some Ludwigs today, and this thought popped into my mind...

yeah... jw

[Finch88]

i dont think theres really any newer metal bands that use them ... i know there are some 80s metal bands that did

i think tommy lee played ludwigs back in the day but i honestly cant remember

[Tim]

none that i know of. They are good kits though. If youre thinkin about getting one dont let the fact that metal drummers not using them make you think they arent good.

[FL3P]

I think Tommy Lee used Pearl before DW.

Why does it matter? Ludwig makes awesome stuff, no matter who plays it.

there's a dutch band here, called Peter Pan Speedrock. the guy uses a classic maple ludwig setup.. 2 24" basses, 14" snare, 14" tom (just one tom in front of the snare, in between the basses) and one 16 and one 18" floortoms.. i just don't know which series it is.. it does have the classic ludwig logo on the bass frontheads..

that's not what i meant to do lol xD. i know it's a classic set, and that the wood is maple.. but i didn't know classic maple was a series lol.. sorry for me being a dumbass :p

i was just wondering... i was never planning on buying one, unless my bro takes his set that im using as my back up right now... but like pearl myself, and ive liked a couple slingerland sets ive played, and a few snares... but yeah... i love pearl

[Drum Phil]

Theres this drummer in our town that plays one. Its a sexy lil black 4 peice from the 80's.

Oh hold on, thats me :D

[seanman99]

Led Zeppelin ... oh wait u told NOT to mention them.

[Dookiedude3005]

great drums if you got the cash, but they're super expensive like the bohnam kit and the classic maple series. A 3pc classic maple will cost you like 3-4k......so if you got cash to throw around than go for ludwig but there are cheaper more eeficient alternatives.

Ludwig started making jazz kits anyway(I.E. beatles ......beatles aren't jazz but I know that lots of jazz drummers use ludwig.) so i doubt any "metal" drummers would being using a fab four set.

Are you ever right? Ever?;) ....:lol:

Most expensive at massmusic.com is around 2200

[The Leper Messiah]

Yeah, the most expensive Ludwig Classic Maple setup is the L8264LX (14x26 bass drum, 16x18 floor tom, 16x16 floor tom, 12x14 tom, 6.5x14 snare drum) at $2,073.00. From what I hear, the higher end Ludwig's sound great.

[Massik Kretal]

Peart used one, but he's not like the bands you mentioned.

[Double Bass Jim]

Pearts old ludwigs were GREAT.

One of my fav set-ups from him.

[Dookiedude3005]

*going over mass music site again*

I've found my error! I scrolled to the bottom of the page where the individual drums are posted(like i always do) and i didn't notice that they were selling whole kits and not individual drums so when I saw 2k I just stopped right there and said to myself i'm not paying 2k for a single drum. so my bad

if i saw 2k for a single drum I would say to myself,"I must be on the OCDP website right now":lol:

[Meeko]

Ludwig does make pretty good stuff. I'm getting one for a second kit to take on the road.
