Even though I'm more of a Gretsch guy than Ludwig - for Country , I'd say Ludwig Legacy Mahogany 13/16/22 with a 6.5" Hammered Black Beauty. Mahogany for that sub-low deep, thumpy , punchy kind of sound.
They have a jaw-dropping low end punch that other musicians instantly love (and hopefully you too). I have had many singers tell me how much they dislike a high pitched cracking snare that makes them blink. The Legacy Mahogany shells don't tune up high and they aren't even as loud as more modern drums,, so they aren't all that versatile, but great for roots/folk/country. IMHO.
