NAMM 2023: It’s been five years since Ludwig launched its NeuSonic series - offering USA-made Ludwig drum sets at intermediate-level price point. For 2023, Ludwig has given the NeuSonic line an update including a tweaked shell construction, new sizes and six new finishes.
Starting with the shell design, the NeuSonic’s hybrid maple/cherry layup has gained an extra ply of maple, giving us three cherry/four maple plies in a 5.5mm-thick shell. The plies are molded using its original ‘bladder molds’ from the 1960S, and Ludwig utilises its R.F.S.T. (Radio Frequency Shell Technology) bonding process to glue the plies together.
