About Ludwig
Ludwig — The Heartbeat of Rock & Roll.
Founded in Chicago in 1909, Ludwig Drums is one of the most storied and celebrated drum brands in the history of popular music. Ludwig achieved worldwide fame in the 1960s when Beatles drummer Ringo Starr played a Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl kit on The Ed Sullivan Show — a moment that cemented Ludwig's place in rock and roll history forever. Over a century later, Ludwig continues to craft drums of exceptional quality, tone, and craftsmanship — trusted by legendary drummers including John Bonham, Ginger Baker, and countless others who have shaped the sound of modern music.

Every Ludwig drum is built to the same exacting standards that made them the choice of the world's greatest drummers — delivering a playing experience that inspires confidence and creativity at every level.
