Ludwig LLF568XXVBCX 16x18inch 110th Anniversary Legacy Mahogany Floor Tom, Van Buren

For almost 110 years, Ludwig have been a world leader in the manufacture of drums and percussion products, becoming a household name in on Feb 9th, 1964 when 73 million people watched the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show, with the Ludwig logo clearly visible of the front of Ringo Starr's bass drum. The company's sales skyrocketed as a result, and for the next 20 years, Ludwig became the biggest name in drums in the USA. Their commitment to the highest quality standards is evident in everything they make.

To mark their impending 110th Anniversary, this Ludwig Legacy Mahagony Floor Tom is inspired by some of Ludwig’s most coveted drums that date back to the 1930s and features Ludwig’s revered Legacy Mahogany 3-ply shell design. The key to Legacy's classic tone begins with a cross-laminated American Poplar center ply to lend focus to the warm rich low-end "woody" tones of inner/outer Mahogany plies. In the tradition of Ludwig's “Victorious” drums of the 1940s, the Van Buren showcases a new vintage mahogany stain complete with inlaid maple hoops. Each Legacy Mahogany drum features Ludwig’s 110th Anniversary embossed badge.

Features:

• 1/16" Mahogany inner and outer ply, 1/8" Poplar core, and 1/4" Solid Maple reinforcement rings
• 30º inner cut with a 1/4" radius round-over bearing edges
• Wood hoops with pearl inlays
• 110th-anniversary badges
