I had only ever played vintage Ludwig kits and the Accent when I came across the Epic Series. I was immensely impressed by the appearance at first glance. I usually don't get this reaction, but the faded shells went very well with the hardware. I couldn't wait to get a chance to test the waters. I was also curious to give it a shot because the shells were an interesting fusion of maple and birch. I love these woods, but wasn't sure how well the arrangement of ply would work.
I have to say, I was very pleased with the music I could produce. The snare was great. Well balanced and sounding good at all dynamics, this was the highlight. The toms also sounded great, totally exhibiting...…

I have to say, I was very pleased with the music I could produce. The snare was great. Well balanced and sounding good at all dynamics, this was the highlight. The toms also sounded great, totally exhibiting the projection of birch wood. The bass drum was solid as well, though it was a custom kit and the size was smaller than the usual issue. I played this in a studio and they took very good care of it. It is difficult to judge a drum kit having never messed with it over a long period of time. I know they kept it tuned up well and changed the heads. Despite this, I am positive that the sound of this kit was amazing regardless.
The hardware was solid, and had a very unique appearance. There were god numbers of lugs, and the tom rack was logically designed. I never got a chance to play the bass drum pedal or cymbal stands that are stock because these were swapped out.
I have actually heard some bad things about the Epic Series, such as too high of a price for its quality. While I never owned this kit, it can compete or surpass many other lines in the same range. I would suggest this to someone looking to upgrade to a mid range setup for a reasonable price. Also, if you like the sound of maple but desire more birch like projection, this may be a good choice.

Alexis B.Hats, Ludwig!
Published on 09/25/14 at 04:46 (This content has been automatically translated from French)It's been a few months since I played it.
I was looking for a drumkit with lacquered wood, deep bass drum and not percée.C'est because Ludwig Epic Funk had these special that my choice was laid over natural finish. In addition, the price was attractive: in the budget that I had expected. We can say that the quality / price is very good, great view.
Not only is she beautiful, but she also sounds really good.
Just look at the faces of the members of my group the first time I played it repeatedly. It was pretty funny.
The bass drum is really there, the kick is sharp, and there is the trunk. The snare drum is excellent, the wood resonates, the attack is accurate.
The strong point...…

Just look at the faces of the members of my group the first time I played it repeatedly. It was pretty funny.
The bass drum is really there, the kick is sharp, and there is the trunk. The snare drum is excellent, the wood resonates, the attack is accurate.
The strong point (though that's a lot with the bass drum and snare drum) are the toms. They have nice harmonics, a powerful resonance.
The first idea that came to mind, the first bearing is: "Wow it actually looks like a drumkit". Yet it's been 20 years since I played, and I've tried a lot.
I just changed the skin bass drum for a Powerstroke 3, and the snare for Emperor doubled to center. I hit hard and original skins (remo made in china) was too light.
I took it to the studio, but I did not have time to change the skins of hits on the toms. Well it was good: I have almost no mate drums, and they had momentum. How long have I recorded with this sound engineer, and his reaction is clear: it's the best drum sound we've done together.
To conclude: I took it for its merits, I keep it for its quality. I'm in love with my drumkit.

rominet83The return of Ludwig?
Published on 11/02/11 at 15:58 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I bought it for its configuration (22 "10" 12 "16" CC14 ") and drums (including GC) and undrilled Vintage finish.
Having been trigg this drumkit, I have not had the opportunity to eesayer with real skins (Remo Pinstripe soon sanded and superkick II).
I left a Mapex M that sounded just great (thank you skin and adjustment). When I brought him to benefits, I was sure she'll be in the final set!
I look forward to the ludwig and little used with the skins home gave me a certain stiffness
To be continued ... …
