Shell
The Neusonic series features a 7-ply crossover shell, combining a 4-ply maple exterior and a 3-ply cherry interior. Produced at Ludwig’s Monroe, NC, USA factory, the shell is 5.5 mm thick for optimal resonance and sustain.
Bearing Edge
Neusonic series shells are equipped with a single 45-degree bearing edge with a 1/16" back cut, offering wide-range tuning abilities and optimal sustain.
RFST Molding
To increase stability throughout the drum, all Ludwig USA shells are produced using Radio Frequency Technology (R.F.S.T). This process, which utilizes Ludwig’s original bladder molds from the 1960s, features a unique bonding system combined with a specialized adhesive to cure each shell evenly over the entire surface. This process is the defining ingredient of the signature "Ludwig Sound."
