These special edition inaugural kits will only be available for a short time at select Ludwig dealers, and have a sound that is as dangerous as their look. These drums feature the flash of world-renowned tattoo artist and drummer Corey Miller.

Corey is a living representation of the relationship tattoos have with rock and roll. Having entered the world of tattooing as a 15-year -old hoodlum punk rock drummer, Corey began his professional tattoo career at age twenty at Fat George\'s Tattoo Gallery in LaPuente, California.

Taking cues from famed artists such as Jack Rudy, Filip Leu and Suzanne Fauser, Corey\'s stunningly realistic tattoo art have taken him all over the world, and made him one of the most sought-after purveyors of ink in modern times. Corey has inked such icons as Metallica\'s James Hetfield and custom motorcycle artist Jesse James. Comments Kevin Packard, director of marketing:

\"This is a true first for Ludwig, and indeed, the drum industry. Numerous kits with custom graphics have been introduced before, but never in a way that allowed every drummer access to them. To have Corey\'s art on a Ludwig kit is something we are really proud of\"

A long- time Ludwig artist and drummer, the Element Series Corey Miller Signature drum kit was personally designed by Corey using various elements of his classic tattoo flash.

The kit is also the first production kit from Ludwig to feature a 22\"x22\" bass drum, a true compliment to the kit\'s 7x14 snare, 8x12 rack tom, and 14x16 floor tom.
