Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Bubinga version of Ludwig’s 14 x 6.5-inch Classic Maple Exotic is handcrafted in Monroe, North Carolina. It combines a seven-ply cross-laminated maple shell with a Bubinga outer ply under high-gloss polyurethane. Radio Frequency Shell Technology is used to bond the plies. Tube lugs, 2.3 mm triple-flange hoops, a P88 throw-off, and 18-strand Vintage ’63 steel wires round out the drum. Ludwig describes the shell as bringing maple punch and warmth, with the wires contributing snap and clarity in studio and stage settings.
