The Ludwig Classic Oak 22 Fab is built off of Ludwigs Oak shell formula that has captivated professionals for the last decade. The cross-over Oak/Maple design offers a rich tone that is balanced focused and loud. With exciting new finishes and configurable options Classic Oak now joins its counterpart Classic Maple to deliver a dynamic professional drum set. Classic Oak shells sandwich 3-ply Classic Maple cores between inner and outer plies of premium hard oak. The result? You get the timeless response of Ludwigs Classic- and Legacy- series kits with added definition articulation punch and beauty imparted from the oak. This lends the Classic Oak ?pre-EQ?d? sound that?s larger than life and balances well with modern cymbals and accompaniment. You also get 45 bearing edges to maximize head and shell response from these exquisite hybrid shells. Factor in Ludwig?s ATLAS tom hardware and heritage Triad floor tom brackets/legs and with the Ludwig Classic Oak shell pack you?ve got all the best of Ludwig?s past and present. The secret is in the 5-ply maple/oak hybrid shells Simply put Classic Oak Fab shells sound the way many engineers try to EQ drums and thats largely the result of their tonewoods and construction process. Each Classic Oak shell features a 3-ply maple core with 1/16″ American oak plies on the inside and the outside. The result is a thin yet dense shell that delivers massive volume with a quick even decay. Punchy and articulate with lots of articulation and a good low-end threshold Classic Oak drum shells are built to deliver the goods onstage or in the studio. Add to that equation modern 45° bearing edges and with the Classic Oak you’ve lots of room to tailor tone with the heads of your choosing. ATLAS and Triad tom hardware Both toms in this Classic Oak shell pack benefit from Ludwigs advanced ATLAS and Triad hardware. The high tom is supported by Ludwigs ATLAS PM0048 and bracket. This system reduces vibration loss to allow the shell to resonate to its full potential. On the floor tom low-profile Triad brackets and suspension legs reduce mass on the shell and decouple it from the floor which results in a cleaner deeper low-end response. Topping it all off Ludwig’s Large Classic Lugs give this kit a great throwback look that any Ludwig player is sure to love. Razor sharp bearing edges provide maximum tone and sustain Dual 45-degree bearing edge for added focus attach and tuning control. A 3-ply maple core is used at this shells core for the apex of the bearing edge for even head to edge contact. The oak inner/outer plies maximize attack and stick definition for a sound with dark presence and sculpted definition. Blending aggressive attack and dark tones with quick even decay. Classic Oak is ideal for settings where volume attack and control are of the utmost priority.
