Each of the drum's bearing edges are cut to a 45-degree angle within 1/16'' from the outer edge. This sharp edge is hand-sanded to assure a smooth, even and flat surface to provide easy head placement.
The Ludwig USA shells are produced using Radio Frequency Shell Technology which increases stability through-out each drum. The RFST's unique bonding system is combined with a specialised, time-tested adhesive to cure each shell evenly over the entire surface of the shell.
