Ludwig drums' 100th anniversary during 2009 was a landmark in drum history. The company was formed in 1909 as Ludwig & Ludwig by brothers William F. and Theobald Ludwig. With the brothers' first product, a bass drum pedal, Ludwig is still considered to be the first ever to have invented drums as we know and play them untill now. The anniversary was celebrated in Europe only by Ludwig, and endorsed by Fentex, with a Road Show through Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands.
