Ludwig Classic Oak Fab 22 acoustic drum kit

Ludwig Classic Oak Fab 22

USA oak/maple Ludwig shell pack with powerful 22-inch kick response.

Ludwig Shell pack

Ludwig Classic Oak Fab 22 pairs a 22-inch bass drum with 13- and 16-inch toms in Ludwig's 5-ply oak/maple hybrid shell. It is denser, louder, and more aggressive than Classic Maple, making it a strong choice for rock, funk, and high-energy players who still want USA-made Ludwig construction.
