The Ludwig Classic Oak 3-piece Pro Beat shell pack brings together the best of two worlds. With hybrid shells crafted from a maple core and outer plies of American red oak, this drum set offers drummers a nuanced tonal palette and enhanced resonance. Thoughtfully designed for drummers of all styles and genres, the Classic Oak allows you to shape your unique voice and explore new sonic possibilities.

Shape Your Sound With Hybrid Shell Construction

At the core of the Classic Oak shells is a 3-ply North American maple center surrounded by single plies of rich, porous American red oak. This hybrid configuration leverages maple's characteristic smooth, balanced tone and pairs it with oak's slightly scooped mids and enhanced low-end response. The result is a drum set with excellent note separation, a focused attack and a balanced sustain you can control. Outfitted with sharp 45-degree bearing edges, the 6.5 mm shells sing with woody undertones and respond crisply to your playing dynamics.

Achieve Legendary Ludwig Sound With Innovative Shell Technology

To take the Classic Oak's construction a step further, Ludwig employs their proprietary Radio Frequency Shell Technology. An innovative manufacturing process involving time-tested bladder molds, this RFST system achieves uniform curing across the shell for optimal resonance and the iconic Ludwig sound. The unique bonding system and specialized adhesive work together to treat each shell as a cohesive whole, allowing you to get the most out of the hybrid maple and oak plies. Consistent quality shell after shell, you can trust the Classic Oak to deliver Ludwig's legacy tone.

Configured for Versatile Playing With Thoughtful Hardware

The Classic Oak 3-piece shell pack includes a versatile configuration ready to cover any gig. With a 13x9" rack tom and a 16x16" floor tom and a 22x14" kick drum, it's easy to craft your signature sound. Outfitted with 2.3mm triple-flanged steel hoops, cast brass Ludwig badges and professional spurs and mounting hardware, the Classic Oak delivers rock-solid performance night after night. Give your playing a distinctive new voice with the nuanced tonality and enhanced resonance of the Ludwig Classic Oak.
