Looking back at over a century of Ludwig Percussion, the word “Family” continues to nd its way
into how we dene who we are as a company. It’s certainly no secret that we bolster a rich history,
originated by William F. and Theobald Ludwig in 1909. These pioneers laid a solid foundation
for drummers and percussionists, creating instruments for the needs of generations of players.
That tradition continued with William F. Ludwig II (or “The Chief” as he has come to be known).
The Chief’s dedication to the Ludwig legacy went way beyond his name. It was his dedication to
everyone from the artisans at the Ludwig factory, to the drummers who played his creations that
established the feeling of a true Family.
From Damen Avenue in Chicago to our current facility in Monroe, NC. The Ludwig Family continues
on in its founder’s tradition as a notable American manufacturer. As dedicated as we are to the
legacy we preserve, it is the dedication of today’s Ludwig Drummer that inspires us to surpass the
standards established by The Chief. Our focus is to educate and inspire a new generation of Ludwig
Drummers, and offer an inside look at the care and craftsmanship our artisans put into each product
that bears our name. Combining a process for crafting percussion instruments that has been rened
over a century with today’s most advanced technologies, we proudly invite you to join our family
and be a vital part of the legacy that is “The Most Famous Name in Drums”.

SHELL CONSTRUCTION
To increase stability throughout the drum,
all Ludwig USA shells made in Monroe,
North Carolina, are produced using Radio
Frequency Shell Technology. Using a
process involving our original bladder molds,
R.F.S .T.’s unique bonding system - combined
with a specialized, time-tested adhesive
- cures each shell evenly over the entire
surface of the shell. This process is truly a
principal ingredient in creating the “Ludwig
Sound” in every shell we make.
Ludwig takes great care in selecting only
the nest quality materials for Classic Maple
shells. This process starts with select North
American maple. The outside panel is 1.8 mm
thick, two ply, cross laminated maple with
a center panel that is 2.4 mm thick, three
ply, cross laminated maple and nished
with an inside panel 1.8 mm thick, two ply,
cross laminated maple. The inside grain runs
circumferential with the shell giving the 7-ply
shells a total thickness of 6 mm.

Hand Formed, Handled with care
Ludwig Snare drums have been the most recorded,
toured with, and sought after sounds in percussion. With
respect to uphold a 100+ year tradition and continue its
legacy, Ludwig’s craftspeople diligently wrought solid
sheets of metal to produce these works of art. The core
to their design is preserved and joined with modern
techniques to produce a look unrivaled and to achieve
sonic perfection. Our artisans set the benchmark for
heirloom-quality snare drums.

Black Beauty
The legendary Black Beauty snare drum is one of the
primary reasons Ludwig is “The Most Famous Name In
Drums.” The drum is constructed of a single sheet of
brass that is machine drawn into a seamless beaded
shell, then nickel-plated with a beautifully exquisite
nish. A true American original, the Black Beauty
provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often
imitated, but never duplicated.
