Ludwig Classic Oak 3-Piece Fab Shell Pack With 22" Bass Drum Blue Burst

The Ludwig Classic Oak 3-Piece Fab shell pack brings Ludwig's acclaimed tone and craftsmanship together in a versatile setup. With the Classic Oak series, Ludwig designed a proprietary 5-ply, 6.5 mm shell combining a maple core with plies of American red oak on the inner and outer layers. This formula produces unrivaled projection and a signature Ludwig sound. The shells are constructed using Ludwig's proprietary RFST molding process with the same historic bladder molds used for legends like Ringo Starr and John Bonham. Paired with modern bonding techniques, this ensures maximum durability and acoustic integrity.

Command the Stage With the Classic Oak Shell Formula

At the heart of the Classic Oak drum set is Ludwig's exclusive 5-ply shell design. A 3-ply maple core delivers focused attack and sustain, while the additional red oak plies on the inner and outer layers provide superb tonal balance and projection. This combination creates a highly responsive shell that excels across any genre. The proprietary blend of woods produces the authoritative punch, warm low end and singing highs that Ludwig drums are renowned for.

Constructed With Ludwig's Legendary RFST Molding Process

Ludwig uses their specialized RFST molding technique to form the Classic Oak shells. This involves heating plies under pressure in the same bladder molds used for historic Ludwig kits played by drumming greats. Along with modern adhesive methods, the RFST process creates a perfect seal between plies for maximum shell integrity. You get the same sturdy shells as vintage Ludwig drums, with modern consistency. The result is a drum set built to last, with the gorgeous look and sound that made Ludwig a legend.

Versatile 3-Piece Setup With Room to Expand

The Ludwig Classic Oak Fab Shell Pack includes a 22x14" bass drum, 13x9" rack tom and 16x16" floor tom. This configuration provides a powerful foundation for any genre, with punchy, fat bass drum tones, and articulate rack and floor toms. It's easy to augment with additional drums and cymbals for a customized kit. With the Classic Oak 3-piece, Ludwig puts their legendary craftsmanship and sound in an affordable, gig-ready format.
