Ludwig Drums

A Famous Name in Drums

T-D-S | The Drum Site
Company Ludwig Drums at T-D-S
Background Ludwig has undoubtedly been a serious name in the world of drums since the beginnings of the drum set. The history of Ludwig is rich; William Ludwig started the company with his brother Theo in 1910 producing bass drum pedals. Ludwig was around during the Great Depression, helped fuel the British rock wave, and held strong throughout the years in everything from jazz to hard rock. Today, Ludwig is still alive and well, manufacturing drums and such in Monroe, NC and LaGrange, IL. Ludwig offers beginner, intermediate and professional drums and hardware.
