Ludwig Breakbeats by Questlove – Silver Sparkle

The Ludwig Breakbeats kit is a compact and portable drum set designed for drummers who need big sound in small spaces. With easy-to-place dimensions, durable 7-ply hardwood shells, and Remo heads, Breakbeats offers professional tone and flexibility for gigs, rehearsals, and home practice.

Compact format with a big sound

The set includes a 14×16" bass drum, 7×10" rack tom, and 13×13" floor tom – ideal sizes for clubs and tight stages. Remo Pinstripe heads provide punchy attack, controlled sustain, and a full, modern character despite the smaller footprint.

Matching 5×14" snare

The included 5×14" snare drum serves as the tonal center of the kit. It's responsive, articulate, and delivers a clear, focused sound suitable for funk, hip-hop, pop, and rock.

Playability and tonal balance

Breakbeats uses 7-ply hardwood shells to blend deep bass drum punch with defined mids in toms and snare. Each drum features 45° hand-finished bearing edges for optimal head contact, resulting in wider dynamics and easier tuning.

Packable and portable

The set comes with custom-fitted bags for convenient transport. The bags can also double as muffling by placing them over the drums when you need instant volume control – ideal for studio, rehearsal, or home settings.
