Ludwig Practice Pad

Ludwig is one of the most iconic names in American percussion history. Founded in 1909 by William F. and Theobald Ludwig in Chicago, Illinois, the brand rose to global prominence, most notably during the 1960s 'British Invasion' when Ringo Starr of the Beatles famously used their drum kits. Their practice pads are designed to provide drummers with a realistic stick rebound while minimizing volume for home or studio practice.

While high-end Ludwig drum kits are still manufactured in Monroe, North Carolina, most budget-friendly accessories, hardware, and practice equipment like this practice pad are manufactured in China or Taiwan. The brand is currently a flagship division of Conn-Selmer, a massive conglomerate in the musical instrument industry that specializes in wind, brass, and percussion instruments.
