Ludwig USA Custom Fab Four Kit. Your thoughts? :D Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Posts: 14 Threads: 10

I just bought this Fab Four kit for $4500 (shell pack). I don't know any history of the kit / or Ludwig, just wanted to get some general thoughts.

It's a lovely sounding kit and I managed to pick up a 18" Paiste Traditional thin crash, so that goes well with it too...

Your thoughts?

Thanks

If it is the Legacy shells, it will have re-rings in the shells, at each edge, and in the middle of the floor tom & bass drums. The Classic Maples will be a bit thicker, and will not have the rings in them.

Beautiful kit. You really should check out some of the 100-year history of the Ludwig Drum Company. Follow the links at the top.
