I hate posting negative rants about drum brands but enough is enough. I love, love, LOVE the sound of Ludwig drums...but I've finally had it.
I bought this kit last year and all seemed fine. Well, not really...the bass drum arrived cracked, but Ludwig replaced it in three weeks and the new kick is great. Now, the inner plies on the floor tom are separating and the drum is basically garbage.
It was stored properly...cool, dry...never abused on gigs or anywhere else. I live in SW Idaho...it doesn't get much drier than this. I absolutely baby my gear - this is a manufacturing flaw, like so many others that Ludwig doesn't seem to care about.
I contacted the shop I bought it from and am awaiting a response. I want my money back - I don't even want a replacement. They're great and I expect a reasonable solution from them - it's not their fault. I think I've been more than generous with my patience, with this drum company. What a joke. Get your s#$% together, Ludwig!
The curse continues!
