Ludwig Keystone 10/12/16/22 Mint Oyster Glass Shell Pack Drum Set. These drums are in very good condition, they look like they have barely been played.

The Keystone shell is a hybrid shell consisting of Red Oak inner and outer plies, with a 3 ply maple core. Oak as a tonewood typically is considered to have more volume and attack than maple, which is revered for its profound warmth. These shells are stamped 020211, which stands for February 2, 2011. 8″x 10, 9″x12″, 16″x 16″, 18″x22. 5-ply Hybrid Red Oak/Maple shells. Mint Oyster Glass Glitter wrap finish.

Traditionally, the Ludwig Sound has run the gamut between the low tonal warmth of the Legacy drum shell, and the resonant mid-range qualities of Classic Maple. As musical tastes and styles have evolved, however, a growing segment of the drumming community sees the need for a louder alternative. With this need in mind, Ludwig’s team of engineers and craftsmen went back to square one with one goal in mind: a completely new drum shell for today’s Ludwig Drummer. The latest creation from Ludwig USA’s Monroe facility, Keystone Series Drums have the distinction of a more focused tonality. The 3-ply maple core used in their Classic Maple drums is augmented with 1/16 inner- and outer-plies of American red oak. This 5-ply combination creates a thin, dense drum shell that speaks loudly with quick, even decay. In order to draw further resonance from this unique hybrid, the dual 45 bearing edge is pulled to the center of the shell to seat perfectly into the head. The end result is a Ludwig drum shell that produces solid, authoritative tone with high power and attack. For the live music drummer, a perfect balance between high-volume cut and subtle articulation is achieved. The Ludwig Keystone Series is made under the same strict quality and structural standards as Classic Maple and Legacy drums, putting a modern twist on a century of custom American drum making. The namesake of Ludwig’s legendary icon, Keystone Series drums feature the new low-contact Keystone lug and mounting bracket for a dramatic look and feel.
