By applying many of the same shell making properties Ludwig has refined over the past century, Ludwig’s flagship professional drum line is going to the next level. The Legacy Exotic, represents a stunning rethink to a modern classic.

After locating several felled logs from Africa and Australia, three exotic hardwoods made the final cut for their visual elegance and tonal quality: Sumauma, Lacewood, and Black Limba. Combining these woods with inner and outer plys of North American Maple and the traditional single Poplar core ply, the rich sonic warmth of Legacy’s shell moves to a new tonal spectrum. Legacy’s trademark rounded bearing edge creates a perfect compliment to the 1/4 single-ply Maple reinforcement rings. The Ludwig Exotic outfits are available in high gloss lacquer burst or fade finishes.

The finishes include:

• Natural/Mahogany Burst, Supernatural, or Tequila Sunrise on Black Limba
• Olive Burst, Supernatural, or Black/Natural on Sumauma
• Natural-Red Mahogany, Supernatural, Honeyburst, or Gatorfade on Lacewood
