DrumCity GuitarLand Reviews: Ludwig Break Beats
by Kyle Christy
Ludwig Break Beats
At Drum City Guitar Land, people come in all the time looking for the all in one kit. The four piece setup with the small kick and toms with light weight hardware. Just so happens this past year Ludwig and Ahmir Thompson aka “Questlove” of (The Roots) teamed up to make just that. Words from Questlove “I wanted to build a device that was apartment-friendly and compact for the street musician; but also something that was quality-sounding. A gritty, raw, ‘Break-able’ kit for gigging in clubs that you can fit in a cab”. With this in mind: They created the “Breakbeats”. Drum set designed for the city/urban drummer. This kit lets your beats be heard on the fly at gigs and on the street.
Break down of the kit:
Bass Drum 14×16” bass drum, 7×10” tom, 13×13” floor tom, and 5×14” matching snare. The bass drum in positioned on a riser for optimum reach.
Straight from the factory with two ply pinstripe Remo heads.
7-ply hardwood shells. F using low-end kick punch with focused tom and snare midrange
Velvet bags included for dust/moisture protect.
Drape the bags over the toms and get lower volumes while changing the tone.
At DCGL we carry this set in two colors White sparkle and Black sparkle. If you’re looking for a kit and don’t want to break your back or lose tone/ volume. This is the setup for you to see.
