Up for sale is my mid-2000 4 piece Ludwig Classic Maple John Bonham replica shell pack in natural maple gloss. This is a replica of his early touring kit before he switched to touring with the Vistalite set and it sounds incredible. Tune it up and you have great attack and stick response coupled with a rumbling low end for that Bonzo sound or tune it lower and you get a cavernous, deep wet maple sound. Ludwig Classic Maple shells are about the best sounding drums out there and this kit makes an incredible visual and sonic presence on any stage. Issues with the kit include a few small nicks on the side of the bass drum which are hard to see because of the natural maple finish. Slight pedal indentation on the hoop, and the 18 floor tom has had very slight seam separation on the inner shell. The seam has been re-glued and has been absolutely solid for over a decade. The drum is very slightly out of round right where the seam is but drum heads seat on the bearing edges fine and there is no binding with the counter hoop. It sounds fantastic and is not at all noticeable when a drum head is on it. Pictures don’t do this kit justice, the maple grain is intense and stunning. Included in the sale is: 14X12 inch virgin rack tom, 16X16 inch floor tom with legs, 18X16 inch floor tom with legs, and a 26X14 inch bass drum. The tom and floor toms are outfitted with brand new Aquarian TCR2 two ply coated heads. The item “Ludwig Classic Maple John Bonham Reissue Drum Set” is in sale since Wednesday, October 18, 2017.
