These powerful drums feature specially designed die-molded shells that are cross-laminated and constructed of nine-ply birch and maple. The result is a full, unmistakably pure Ludwig sound. Additional features include triple chrome-plating, self-aligning lugs, all-wood hoops, smooth white Weather Master drum heads, and the availability of beautiful wood-stained finishes. Ludwig's All Terrain Tilting Bass Drum Stands feature 1.5" square steel construction and are silver vein powder-coated. The LE788 stand features a positive tilt action secured with insulated large bass drum mount castings, height adjustment, retractable footrest and four large 5" locking swivel castors for easy transportation both indoors and out.
