  • Ludwig-Musser 2010 Concert Percussion Catalog AV8084 2010
    Welcome to the world of Ludwig/Musser Concert Percussion. The instruments in this catalog represent the finest quality and sound in percussion instruments today from a company that has been making instruments and accessories in the USA for decades. Ludwig is “The Most famous Name in Drums” since 1909 and Musser is “First in Class” for mallet percussion since 1948. Ludwig & Musser aren’t just brand names, they are men’s names. William F. Ludwig Sr. & William F. Ludwig II were gifted percussionists and astute businessmen who were innovators in the world of percussion. Clair Omar Musser was also a visionary mallet percussionist, composer, designer, engineer and leader who founded the Musser Company to be the American leader in mallet instruments. Both companies originated in the Chicago area. They joined forces in the 1960’s and originated the concept of “Total Percussion.” With our experience as a manufacturer, we have a dedicated staff of craftsmen and marketing professionals that are sensitive to the needs of the percussionist. Several on our staff are active percussionists today and have that same passion for excellence in design, quality and performance as did our founders. We are proud to be an American company competing in a global economy. Musser Marimbas, Xylophones, Chimes, Bells, & Vibraphones are available in a wide range of sizes and models to completely satisfy the needs of beginners, schools, universities and professionals. With a choice of hammered copper, smooth copper or fiberglass bowls, Ludwig Timpani always deliver the full rich sound that generations of timpanists have come to expect from Ludwig.

  • History of the Drum Set
    History of the Drum Set The drum set is as American as baseball, hotdogs, and apple pie. The instrument as it currently exists has seen a great deal of evolution and development. From its infancy at the start of the 20 th century to the innovations that are currently taking place, it has developed into the most visible and widely used instruments in the percussion family. Late 1800’s Brass bands were the most common type of instrumental ensemble in the United States in the later half of the 19 th century. Every town in America had bandstands were concerts were held and perhaps the reason for their existence can be attributed in part to the Civil War. Every military unit had its own squad of musicians, usually formed according to locality. Occasionally some bands stayed together after the war, while others disbanded. Each brass band consisted of two or more drummers that played snare, bass, and cymbals. In addition to marching parade commitments, these bands sometimes moved “indoors” entertaining patrons in concert providing music for occasions such as picnics and town socials. When these groups moved inside, the standard instrumentation was cut down somewhat for practical reasons. Because of this, the need for two or more drummers decreased and resourceful inventions began to flourish. The concept of one drummer playing two or more rhythms was made possible through the creation of the snare drum stand and bass drum pedal. Before the snare stand, drummers would hang the drum from their shoulder with a strap or sling, or position the drum on a chair.

  • Gibson Declares Bankruptcy
    Gibson Declares Bankruptcy David Diaz, CEO,Davenport Laroche Another timeless rock and roll icon is headed to “rehab”. This time, though, it’s not a performer. It’s the brand that tied together some of rock’s biggest names, from Elvis Presley to Keith Richards, Jerry Garcia, Slash, Ace Frehley and Jimmy Page. Each of these icons played Gibson. Slash, in fact, was an official brand ambassador for the guitar brand he proudly played on stage during a meteoric six-year run with Guns ‘n Roses. Seeing one of the new breed of guitar gods ripping through sets on his Gibson inspired a new generation of shredders to grab their Les Paul or Standard, jam and dream. Now, though, Gibson has hit a major roadblock, filing for bankruptcy protection as the company struggles to mitigate half a billion dollars in debt. As a result of the bankruptcy filing, the press is reporting that creditors will “take control” of the company, that was founded way back in 1902 and helped defined American music for more than a century. Because Gibson guitars were so popular for so many years, many are wondering why, exactly, the company is in such dire straits. There are several reasons, though many are blaming the relatively recent acquisition of Philips’ consumer audio division a few years back. That, in fact, is the first thing Gibson’s new ownership plans to let go in an attempt to get the business back in the black. The company will divest itself of the line of headphones, loudspeakers and turntables that have proven to be a drag on profitability.
