Historic Fact
Ludwig and Ludwig's 3-ply shell formula was unveiled in 1923; at the time touted as being built "...in accordance with the recognized correct principles used in the manufacture of airplanes." This classic construction evolved into a sound that captured the attention of generations of drummers.

Take the stage in style and rule the beat with Legacy Mahogany Van Buren shell pack.
Vintage-voiced shells and edges
In the spirit of Ludwig's "Victorious" drums of the '40s, a mahogany-sandwiched poplar core is the key to the Ludwig Van Buren's satisfying vintage voicing. A heart of cross-laminated 1/8" American poplar adds crisp cut and focused midrange to the warm, woody 1/16" mahogany outer and inner plies. Together with 30° inner-cut roundover bearing edges and solid maple reinforcement rings, these shells deliver the authentic tone and response that has kept Ludwig's original mahogany-shelled vintage kits in high demand to this day.
Classic Ludwig configurationsLudwig is the name behind some of the most iconic drum kits in Western music history. The Legacy Mahogany Van Buren series recognizes these most celebrated of setups, which include pre-configured shell packs to suit the musical proclivities of drummers from hard rockers to hard boppers. Collectors and longtime Ludwig fans are sure to find enjoyment in the retro appointments crowning each Legacy Mahogany Van Buren shell. These include Ludwig's coveted Keystone badges, Ludwig Classic lugs, and vintage-inspired wrapped finishes.
The Ludwig legacy
Since 1909, Ludwig drums have enjoyed one of the proudest legacies in percussion. The world has heard them under the sticks of Cream's Ginger Baker and Wrecking Crew session legend Hal Blaine, keeping the pulse behind Queen at Live Aid, and laying down John Bonham's beastly beat for Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks." But their biggest break came when Ringo Starr proudly played them on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, making Ludwig a household name for aspiring and superstar drummers alike.
