Bearing Edge

Neusonic series shells features a single 45-degree bearing edge with a 1/16" back cut. This offers wide-range tuning abilities and optimal sustain.

RFST Molding

To increase stability throughout the drum, all Ludwig USA shells are produced using Radio Frequency Technology. Using a process involving our original bladder molds from the 1960's, R.F.S.T's unique bonding system combined with a specialized adhesive cures each shell evenly over the entire surface of the shell. This process is truly the principal iningredient to the "Ludwig Sound".
