No-Brainer ! Mona me! you are little confused...Yes... the
Ludwig Basic you refer to is the LC1251 accent...CS This is the entry kit priced at around £388 a 8ply select hard wood Vaneer and is a Gran-dad or starter kit agreed..and looks Un-cool...Agreed yes i would walk out the shop with the snair drum and turn my wardrobe into a drum kit..
However Mona me! The kit I mentioned "The Accent Cs Custom Elite" is a different animal..o yes indeedy. Its "Birch"bro .... its as good if not better then its rivals
Pearl.Premier,Sonnor,
Mapex and the rest
DW who probably source from the same supplier and with a maple arriving soon....sharp intake of breath "check under pants".... slightly more competition i would say. So Mona Me! The saying is you cannot make a purse out of a sows ear..
Ludwig have done and will have success with it ..It looks like a pro kit....Propper paint job infused with glitter so it say on the tin not a cheap wrap...."why have one chocolate when you can feast on the box" Mona Me...you cant gig with just a snare drum hanging from your neck like a medal...however good it is and all its gonna do is make your kit sound inferior when you get it home.......Buy The Drum Kit....A..snare "sacra blue"
