I've been using the atlas pro kick pedal, snare stand, hi hat, multiple mounts and various cymbal arms over the last 2 to 4 years with no issues over hundreds of hours of usage. It's all well built. Their hardware is second to none. The snare stand is the most adjustable and stable stand I've ever used, though a bit heavy. The hi-hat stand is the smoothest I've ever used.

i've played all kinds of hardware over the last 25 yrs and have always thought that ludwig suffered with their hardware line, but i have to say that they've certainly out done themselves with this new line of hardware..it seems they've improved on what most other companies famous for their hardware seem to have missed over the last few years..the heel anchor plate idea is just one of several genius ideas, giving more stability to the heaviest foot.

I love the new hardware with the throwback pedal plates! These guys have their sh%t together! Ludwig is poised to be #1 again!

How long is the boom on the cymbal stand?

[@charliefarran9603]

I have had problems with the Cymbal stand knurled area on two stand after only few months use, and also a fault wit the pro BD pedal. Very disappointed in such bad quality from such a respected Company.

Im in the market for a compleat new hardware set and I was watching this thinking it was all absolutely then he said single point adjustment on the boom stand, and when he adjusted it it looked so cheap. Dam ocd means I won't beable to get any of the other parts from this series. Shame cos it looks incredible :/

is this pro hardware usa made? triple plated chrome? does ludwig have the plan to keep the hardware as important as the drums? the trend has been that people play whatever brand of drums they like, then mix in dw hardware or vice versa. awesome hardware! i hope to see ludwig stay in competition with other hardware innovators such as dw and axis etc.... i see a trend(american pride) in pro level drums and hardware being usa made(or similar). not chinese, taiwan, or japenese etc.. sorry asia
