Ludwig Accent 5-Piece Power Drum Set, Black

The entry-level Ludwig Accent 5-Piece Power Drum Set is perfect for the serious beginning student or anyone on a budget. It gives you the legendary Ludwig look and sound and features chromeplated hardware. 22" x 16" bass, 16" x 16" floor tom, 13" x 11" and 12" x 10" rack toms, and a 6-1/2" x 14" metal snare. Hardware: double tom holder, snare drum stand, cymbal stand, hi-hat stand, bass drum footpedal. Cymbals not included.


The most common EMG pickups are the EMG 81 and 85. The EMG 81 is usually considered to be the lead pickup and is more commonly used in the bridge position, while the EMG 85 is mainly used as a rhythm pickup more used in the neck position.

Personally I have had great success with using EMG pickups in a Gibson Les Paul and 7 string ESP guitar especially if you are into heavier sounding music. The clarity, deeper tone, and added gain are what make the pickups more suitable. One negative thing about the EMG active pickups is the need for a 9 volt battery, but it's not much of a problem because the battery lasts for a long time. You just need to make sure you replace the battery at least every 6 months because of tone loss over time.
