-Ludwig Drum Company- The Ludwig Drum Company was founded in Chicago in 1909 by brothers Theo and William Ludwig. They manufactured the world's first practical foot pedal, and with this success a drumming company was born. The know-how cultivated since the company's founding is still passed down today, and the company offers a balance of tradition and innovation to meet the needs of artists around the world. The bronze shell's rich mid-low range and crisp, clear high range make it an essential material for Ludwig sound, and it was even used for a time in the famous Black Beauty. The rounded, dark sound has the unique character of bronze, and this model also produces a warm tone similar to that of a wood shell. This hammered shell model produces a tight sound thanks to the hammering on the shell.
