In 2016, Ludwig introduced the Element Evolution drum kits. At the NAMM Show 2017 Ludwig showed their upgraded version called the 'Evolution Maple'. The lacquer finished North American maple shells, the 45 degree bearing edges, the triple flange hoops and the Remo batter heads gives it the Pro Level upgrade while this 6-piece shell pack remains really affordable. With four finishes available, Ludwig makes sure you can choose what fits you best in color and style. The video and all the details of the new kit are below. For reference and to show the growth of these drums, we added the video with the Element Evolution that was introduced in 2016.
