Just how heavy are Ludwig 6 ply?

Loading...

Hi all,

I have a line on a set of cortex wrap 6 ply. 22/12/13/16. I've read these drums are quite heavy. I gig out most weekends and would prefer not to haul around heavy tubs.

I've been playing Rogers big R sets, which aren't as light as say Ludwig 3 ply, but I wouldn't consider them "heavy" either.

Hoping to get some feedback from those who play/have played the 6 ply Ludwigs. Thanks in advance.

They are definitely heavier than the 3 ply

Not sure how close to the ROGERS

I play out with mine and have them in cases so that helps to carry them.

They sound great live and worth the weight to me and also take a beating on the road.

Yeah, they're heavy. A hand truck or cart would be helpful. They sound punchy, loud, warm. Not thuddy.
