Concert percussionists are an essential piece of any stage or pit ensemble, and having the right instrument and accessories is a big part of achieving a great sound. Ludwig has been making percussive instruments for over 100 years and is trusted the world over by some of the biggest names in drumming, so who better to trust with you sound? Whether you're a professional player in an orchestra, symphony or philharmonic, or the percussionist in your school band, Ludwig's percussion selection is sure to have everything you need for practices and performances.
Ludwig's concert instruments and accessories are sure to have everything you need to put on a tremendous show. A drummer who's looking for mallets, for example, is sure to find what they need here. Whether you need a pair of rubber mallets for your xylophone or a pair of yarn ones for your marimba or vibraphone, Ludwig has an exceptional selection of material and hardness options for every application.
A great option for achieving a resounding bass sound is the Ludwig Concert Bass Drum with LE788 Stand. This set includes a 9-ply maple shell drum with self-aligning lugs, all-wood hoops and a Weather Master drum head, as well as an all-terrain metal stand. It delivers an outstanding, thunderous tone, ideal for any concert situation.
If, on the other hand, you're looking for a truly special complete set, the Ludwig LKG705KG Grand Symphonic Timpani Set of 5 is a great option. Each of the drums in this set features suspended, hand-hammered bowl construction and Balanced Action™ tuning pedals to achieve overtone-free pitches. Additionally, the friction blocks sit astride the main horizontal pull rods, supporting the balanced action on both ends of the range.
No matter what your concert percussion needs are, Ludwig is an excellent choice for selection, quality and value. The company has a worldwide reputation for creating a huge variety of excellent percussion instruments, but one thing stays the same across all its product lines: exceptional sound.
