Ludwig P4 Practice Pad Review



Ludwig P4 Practice Pad Feature

  • Designed by Pat Petrillo Three-tier design Four distinctly different playing surfaces in terms of both sound and feel
  • Can be attached to a cymbal stand via 8mm thread on base
This Ludwig P4 Practice Pad was designed by world-renowned drummer Pat Petrillo and features three playing levels and four playing surfaces that provide a variety of feels, sounds, and responses. This unique and versatile design will improve a drummer's overall hand technique, accuracy, and coordination by providing multiple playing surfaces on the same side of the drum pad.The Ludwig P4 practice drum pad fits neatly on top of your snare drum, table top, or into any snare-stand basket. It also has an 8mm thread, so it can be attached to a cymbal stand. Each pad has a unique sound and feel, corresponding to the playing characteristics of different drums and cymbals. Pat Petrillo has been successfully using the P4 for practice and teaching at Drummers Collective in New York, and now everyone has the opportunity to experience the feel and dexterity development that the Ludwig P4 drum pad can offer. The large black pad that comprises the bottom level has the feel of a snare-style practice pad and the blue surface on the left side of the second level feels more like a hi-hat. The right side of the second level is softlike a floor tomand the upper tier resembles the feel of a ride."I wanted to replicate the feel of moving around the drum set when I practice on a pad," says drummer Pat Petrillo. "The P4 allows me to really work on independence techniques." Pat is recognized as one of today's most accomplished and versatile drummers, having performed and recorded with a wide variety of artists from many genres of music including Gloria Gaynor, Patti LaBelle, Dee-Lite, Patti Smythe, and Glen Burtnik, as well jazz guitarist Ed Hamilton, and most recently the world music group Oko Jumu.

Ludwig Keystone Series 4-Piece Shell Kit

Ludwig Keystone Series 4-Piece Shell Kit Review



Ludwig Keystone Series 4-Piece Shell Kit Feature

  • Mint Oyster
Traditionally, the Ludwig Sound has run the gamut between the low tonal warmth of the Legacy shell, and the resonant midrange qualities of Classic Maple. As musical tastes and styles have evolved, a growing segment the drumming community sees the need for a louder alternative. With this in mind, Ludwigs team of engineers and craftsmen went back to square one with a single goal: a completely new shell for todays Ludwig Drummer.As the latest creation from Ludwig USAs Monroe facility, Keystone Series Drums have the distinction of a more focused tonality. The 3-ply Maple core used in our Classic Maple drums is augmented with 1/16 inner and outer plys of American Red Oak. This 5-ply combination creates a thin, dense shell that speaks loudly with quick, even decay. To draw further from this unique hybrid, a dual 45-degree bearing edge is pulled to the center of the shell to seat perfectly into the head.The end result is a shell that produces solid, authoritative tone with high power and attack. A perfect balance between high-volume cut and subtle articluation is achieved for the live music drummer. Keystone Series is made under the same strict quality and structural standards as Classic Maple and Legacy drums, putting a modern twist on a century of custom American drum making.The namesake of Ludwigs legendary icon, Keystone Series Drums come standard with Evans USA G2 batter heads, and new low-contact Keystone lugs and mounting brackets. These dramatic accents are augmented by four stunning glass glitter finishes for dramatic look and feel.
