Frequently Asked Questions

The Agathis core softens the maple's inherent brightness, resulting in a warmer, rounder tone, but it sacrifices some of the crisp attack you'd get from pure maple.
The shells are relatively resonant out of the box, so many players will likely want to experiment with some dampening, particularly on the toms, to tailor the sound to their preferences.
Ludwig typically equips these kits with a standard Remo batter head, which provides a balanced response suitable for a wide range of playing styles; they are a good starting point, but many players will upgrade them.
