Built for the Beat of the Street.
Designed in collaboration with legendary drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, the Ludwig Breakbeats kit packs punch, portability, and personality into a street-smart shell pack made to move with your rhythm.
Whether you're gigging in tight spaces, practicing at home, or busking on the corner, Breakbeats delivers full-size tone in a scaled-down setup that’s easy to travel with and hard to ignore.
"I wanted to build a device that was apartment-friendly and compact for the street musician; but also something that was quality-sounding. A gritty, raw, 'break-able' kit for gigging in clubs that you can fit in a cab. Breakbeats by Questlove does it all."
- Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson (The Roots)
Breakbeats was designed with the city in mind. Positioned on a riser for optimum reach, its compact 14x16" bass drum, 7x10" tom, and 13x13" floor tom creates a set-up for sculpting grooves in tight spaces.
The tonal center of Breakbeats is a 5x14" matching wood snare drum. Create beats on the fly and make your voice heard at gigs, on the street, or in rehearsal.
Breakbeats' 7-ply hardwood shells play like a full-sized kit; fusing low-end kick punch with focused tom and snare midrange.
The Breakbeats kit comes with a tom mount only. The depicted hardware and cymbals are not included.
