The Ludwig Legacy
Ludwig began in Chicago as a family dream from brothers William F. Ludwig Sr. and Theobald Ludwig: build instruments that honor the player and elevate the performance. They pursued what drummers demand most, superior sound, playability, and unmatched durability.
For more than a century, Ludwig has remained the most famous name on drums, trusted by professionals, educators, and students alike. It has lived in the discipline of classrooms, the intensity of rehearsal rooms, and the electricity of the field, wherever rhythm carries a group forward and holds it together.
Ludwig continues to craft world-class concert drums, timpani, and marching percussion with the same attention to detail that defined its founders' vision, trusted for delivering something performers never forget: the moment rhythm becomes confidence, and confidence becomes presence.

The Musser Legacy
Musser was founded by Clair Omar Musser, a visionary percussionist, composer, and engineer who believed mallet instruments should do more than carry pitch. They should carry emotion.
Guided by Musser's artistic and technical brilliance, the brand advanced bar design, frame construction, and playing technique, including the famed Musser grip, shaping a new standard of control, projection, and musical presence by pairing imagination with mechanical precision.
Musser's legacy is heard in the shimmer of vibraphone, the brilliance of xylophone, the warmth of marimba, and the clarity of bells and chimes. Known for innovations in tuning and engineering, Musser instruments answer the player with resonance, balance, and authority.
In schools, on stages, and on the field, they do not merely speak. They lead. Built to command the stage and field, Musser gives sound the power to hold a room and carry a crowd.
