Drummers here at Sweetwater understand that Ludwig hardware consistently promises timeless looks and top-shelf performance. And now, Ludwig’s LCPACK Classic Hardware Pack exudes even more charm with a stunning retro 4-piece assortment that includes a hi-hat stand, boom and straight cymbal stands, and a snare basket stand. Harkening back to stylings from Ludwig’s golden age, each piece in the LCPACK comes structured with low and vintage-style single bracing on a Flat Base frame with New Classic wing nuts. Of course, to complement such effortless style is the superior functionality to back it up, which is where Ludwig’s modern proprietary features step in to handle the rigors of constant performance with conviction. That means optimized omni-clamp tube joints, adjustable Acculite Sustain Feet, and Aerodyne tilters, among other accoutrements, plus ergonomic and slip-free redesigns across the board that ensure pro-grade playability when the moment matters most.

In terms of configuring your brass or bronze effects, the LCPACK gives you the angling versatility of an LC35BCS boom stand and an LC25CS straight stand. And speaking of angling, their Aerodyne Tilters maintain a steady hold of your cymbal while you position each effect, backed by gearless and dual-axis rotating operation. The LC35BCS boasts a dual boom tilter with separate height and angle adjustability, too! Insulated omni-clamp tube joints encourage superior clamping strength when adjusting stand height. At the same time, the pair’s Flat Base frames keep a low profile and come with height-adjustable Acculite Sustain Feet for the utmost convenience when overlapping legs.





For the LC16HH hi-hat stand, drummers will love the stand’s center point anchor and the pedal’s Spur-Lock Heel Cleat, minimizing any threat of slippage during performance. The pedal also features sealed speed ball bearings for even greater sensitivity in responsiveness and overall command. Up the rest of the stand, the adjustable, memory-locking, and spring-loaded pull rod tension system prioritizes cymbal weight balance for optimal performance. Meanwhile, the Aerodisc tilter permits the revolving, positioning, angling, and locking of the bottom cymbal precisely how you see fit.





The LC21SS snare basket stand follows suit with most of the aforementioned structural appointments, but houses snare-specific necessities that ensure your backbeats consistently hit like they’re supposed to. Most notably, this stand provides a low-mass snare basket for effortless height and angle adjustments of your instrument. New Classic wing nuts retain that vintage aesthetic appeal while offering a more ergonomic feel for sure-fingered adjustments in a pinch.
