The History of Ludwig Bass Drum Pedals with Steve Zemanek

Steve takes us through all the decades of Ludwig bass drum pedals starting in 1909 with the iconic first commercially produced bass drum pedal that completely changed the world of drumming, up to the modern re-introduction of the Speed King. Steve is a passionate collector of Ludwig bass drum pedals and wrote a new book called “The Ludwig Line: Bass Drum Pedals” that is full of detailed descriptions and photos of his collection that covers most everyLudwig pedal that was ever made. He is only missing a few “holy grail pedals” that he describes in this episode.
