Ludwig Neusonic - Made in USA
In a field that often shifts manufacturing to the Far East, traditional manufacturer Ludwig has made a conscious decision to produce its mid-range NeuSonic series sets at its home plant in North Carolina. Ambitious beginners, advanced players and professionals thus get a genuine Ludwig Set Made in USA. A real unique selling point.
With maple and cherry, two well-known tonewoods are used in the NeuSonic sets. Three layers of maple surround the three layers of cherry. A balanced sound with plenty of punchy treble and a fat bass range is the result. During the production of the shells, the robust wrap is already applied and treated like another layer of wood. This allows the silk-matte wrap to be glued over the entire surface and the edges to be set cleanly. The result is just 5mm thin hybrid shells with a typical warm Ludwig sound.
Sturdy Ludwig shell hardware
The sturdy Triad mounts prove responsible for holding the floor tom legs as well as acting as tom mounts. On the shells, tried-and-true Mini-Classic Lugs hold the triple-flanged steel hoops, while lightweight cast iron claws are used on the Bass Drum. Simple but effective are the legs of the Bass Drum. The stiletto design legs can be chosen between a rubber foot and a metal spike, depending on the surface and personal preference.
Standard for both toms: Remo and Coated Ambassador and Ambassador Clear heads. The Bass Drum gets a combination of clear Powerstroke 3 on the batter side and white coated Powerstroke 3 on the reso side.
