NAMM 2013: Ludwig Drums

News
By Rhythm published 29 January 2013

Innovative new tom mount and more from Ludwig

Introducing the Atlas tom mount

Introducing the Atlas tom mount

The most innovative new addition from Ludwig is the Atlas mount, an add-on to the Atlas hardware range launched in 2012.

The Atlas mount features a new minimum contact, two-part suspension system that replace lugs on each shell. The mount comes in two parts and is separated by a polymer bumper, thus isolating the drum from the mount and allowing maximum resonance of the shell.

The Atlas mount will come as standard on the Keystone series (which also features a new cast brass badge) and Ludwig also informs us that the it will be available later in the year as a standalone product that can be retro fit to any shell that features two-point mounted lugs.

A multitude of uses

A multitude of uses

As you can see, it's not just rack toms that can be mounted using the new Atlas mount.

By replacing a pair of bass drum lugs with Atlas mounts you have a handy way of adding additional cymbal arms to your set-up. They can also be used to mount legs to your floor tom.

Continuing the theme, Ludwig has introducing an array of additional arms and clamps, leaving you plenty of options by which to add cymbals and toms to your set-up, meaning you can fill up every last gap in your kit!

The Ludwig Supralite is a wallet-friendly version of its older sibling the Supraphonic.

The drum features a 1mm beaded chromed steel shell, 2.3mm hoops, chromed-beass tube-style lugs and is available in 14"x4", 15"x5", 14"x5.5" and 14"x6.5" sizes.

Every year Ludwig unveils a monstrous kit as the centre-piece to their stand at NAMM. This year's statement piece was this sprawling Legacy Classic kit. Stunning set-up, but we can't make our minds up on that finish...
