Ludwig L84823AX52 Classic Maple Jazzette 3-Piece 18" Shell Pack Sky Blue Pearl

Compact Jazz Sizes with Full Maple Projection

The Ludwig Classic Maple Jazzette 3-piece shell pack pairs compact jazz dimensions with the depth and authority of 7-ply North American maple shells. The 14 x 18 bass drum delivers focused low end and quick response, making it ideal for smaller stages, studios, and tighter musical settings where control and articulation matter. The 8 x 12 mounted tom and 14 x 14 floor tom provide a balanced tonal spread, with fast attack and clear note definition across a wide tuning range.

Each shell is built using Ludwig’s Radio Frequency Shell Technology, which evenly cures the plies for structural consistency and reliable resonance. A hand-sanded 45-degree bearing edge allows the heads to seat cleanly, improving sustain and harmonic presence. Maple’s sensitivity enhances ghost notes and dynamic playing, while still offering enough punch for amplified environments.

The Sky Blue Pearl finish and chrome hardware complete a classic visual profile without compromising durability. This configuration prioritises portability and controlled projection over sheer volume, making it especially practical for gigging drummers who need efficiency without sacrificing tonal depth.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this kit suits players who want a compact, transport-friendly setup with professional maple tone that adapts easily from intimate jazz sessions to mic’d live performances.
