They manufactured the world's first practical foot pedal, and with this success a prestigious drum brand was born. The know-how cultivated since the company's founding is still passed down today, and the company offers a balance of tradition and innovation to meet the needs of artists around the world. The Bronzephonic series, which was discontinued in 2020, has been revived. The metal shell's ability to produce a solid mid-low range and crisp, clear high range makes it an essential material for Ludwig sound, and it was even used for a time in the famous Black Beauty.
