Ludwig Breakbeats by Questlove 4-piece Shell Pack - Deep Blue Sparkle

4-piece Hardwood Shell Pack with 10" Tom, 13" Floor Tom, 16" Bass Drum, and 14" Snare - Deep Blue Sparkle

Breakin’ It to the Streets

The Ludwig Breakbeats by Questlove shell pack is a true love letter to buskers, hustlers, and any drummer who regularly works the hat. This portable 4-piece shell pack was created in collaboration with the one and only Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and features 7-ply hardwood shells, a matching wood snare drum, and a massive sound that conceals its compact footprint. While Quest obviously had crowded clubs and subway tunnels in mind, this shell pack is also ideal for small stages, green rooms, apartments, and anywhere else where space is limited. Its riser-mounted design allows you to play comfortably, and it comes stock with Remo Pinstripe drumheads for a hefty, slamming sound from the first strike. Perfect for lo-fi, hip-hop, and neo-soul, the Breakbeats by Questlove shell pack has impressed our Sweetwater drummers.

Questlove: on a relentless quest for groove

You've heard him with The Roots and seen him on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, but the Ludwig Breakbeats by Questlove shell pack lets you truly channel the percussive spirit of Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson. An icon behind the kit, Quest is also a music producer, a university professor, an actor, and a celebrated author. Despite his multi-hyphenate status and his ever-growing abundance of accolades, Quest has never forgotten where he came from, and that's really what the Ludwig Breakbeats by Questlove shell pack represents: a loving homage to where it all started.

The Ludwig legacy

With a proud legacy that dates back to 1909, Ludwig drums are a favorite among Sweetwater drummers for their warm, punchy sound. The world has heard them in front of Cream’s Ginger Baker, keeping the pulse behind Queen at Live Aid, and laying down the monstrous sound of Led Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks.” But the company’s biggest break came when Ringo Starr proudly played them on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. Ludwig drums of today continue to carry this impressive legacy forward.
