Description

Make it fit. Break it down. Dial it in. Pack it up. The Ludwig Breakbeats Questlove shell pack does it all in style.

A partnership between between Ludwig and and the legendary Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson was always going to produce something special. The Ludwig Breakbeats kit is a leader in the world of travel drum kits. Smaller sizes such as a 16″ kick drum make this kit an excellent choice for tight stages and for regular transportation, which is only made easier by the included carrying bags. Despite it’s size the Breakbeats Kit is not for kids (Check out the Ludwig Pocket Kit to see Ludwig and Questlove’s take on a kids kit). Designed to be road ready and loud enough for the gigging drummer wherever they might be playing next, the Breakbeats won’t disappoint.

“I wanted to build a device that was apartment-friendly and compact for the street musician; but also something that was quality-sounding. A gritty, raw, ‘break-able’ kit for gigging in clubs that you can fit in a cab. Breakbeats by Questlove does it all.”

– Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson (The Roots)

This shell pack is finished with a black sparkle wrap for a classic look.

Make It Fit

Breakbeats was designed with the on the go gigging drummer in mind. Its compact 16×14″ bass drum comes with a riser which allows it to be used with standard kick pedals.ย  A 10×7″ tom, and 13×13″ floor tom and 14 x 5″ snare drum completes an ideal set-up for sculpting grooves in tight spaces. It features Remo Pinstripe heads for pro-level tones, and comes with a multi-purpose bags for easy transport, and drum muting.

Break It Down

The tonal centre of Breakbeats is a 14×5″ matching wood snare drum. Where other travel kits opt for a smaller snare drum the Breakbeats kits offers a full size snare, refusing to compromise on the sound of the drum at the heart of the kit.

Dial It In

Fitted with Remo heads, Breakbeats’ 7-ply hardwood shells play like a full-sized kit; fusing low-end kick punch with focused tom and snare midrange.

Pack It Up

Packable, stackable, and portable, Breakbeats’ compact size and included storage bags make it ideal for the drummer on the move. Far from merely helping you transport the drums, the included bag set is designed to help you sculpt your sound. Play it wide open or instantly change volume and tone by draping each bag over each drum for a dampening effect.
