Ludwig Accent 5-Piece Combo Drum Set

Overview
The Ludwig Accent drum set is a starter set that is great for beginners. Ludwig is really a quality drum company that is trustworthy in its products. These drums have wood shells including a matching wood snare drum that have wrapped finishes. It comes with a 22" x 16" bass, 12" x 10" and 13" x 11" toms, 16" x 16" floor tom, and a 6-1/2" x 14" snare. The hardware that the kit usually includes are the LA214FP bass pedal, snare stand, and straight cymbal and hi-hat stands. Cymbals and throne are usually not included.


The Good
Well, you must remember that the Ludwig Accent is a drum set for beginning drummers, and for beginners, this drum kit is great. It comes with many of the standard pieces that can get anyone started in playing the drums. The hardware is decent and will take moderate abuse. With a few tweaks and adjustments, this kit can sound great. This drum set gives you one of the better deals for the money you pay. Beginners, look no further!

The Bad
Well, once again, you must remember that the Ludwig Accent is a beginner drum kit. The hardware is okay for a beginning drummer but if you’re a touring pro, forget about it. The drum heads that this set comes with are absolutely horrible. It’s a good thing that drum heads are relatively cheap. You can make the drums sound ten times better just by slapping on some Evans or Remo drum heads. The drums also do not come with any instructions on how to assemble. However, it’s not such a daunting task and if you run into trouble you can ask here at Drumset Connect or look for an online resource.

The Verdict
For the price, it’ll be difficult to find a better drum set. It may take some drum head upgrades and some fine tuning but these drums can sound very good. The Ludwig Accent drum set is great as a starting set or for intermediate players who want a drum set to just bash on.
