Ludwig Pocket Kit

The Ludwig Pocket Kit series is a thoughtfully designed drum kit created in collaboration with Questlove, the renowned drummer from The Roots. Known for their high-end professional drums, Ludwig developed the Pocket Kit to offer an affordable, high-quality option for young aspiring drummers aged 4–10. Featuring smaller shell sizes and sturdy, easy-to-adjust hardware, this compact kit is built to provide a comfortable and inspiring playing experience for children taking their first steps into drumming. The Pocket Kit includes everything needed to get started straight out of the box, with cymbals, stands, stool, sticks and a kick pedal all included.

Learning the drums at a young age can be challenging, especially when the available instruments are either too large or poorly made. The Ludwig Pocket Kit was designed specifically to bridge this gap, providing young players with a kit that feels right, sounds great and is built to last. Its thoughtful design ensures that children can develop proper playing techniques without the frustration of struggling to reach the drums or work with flimsy components. Unlike toy kits that quickly wear out, the Pocket Kit delivers a genuine drumming experience backed by Ludwig’s legacy of quality.

Despite being aimed at younger players, the Ludwig Pocket Kit maintains the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and tone. Its compact design makes it perfect for smaller spaces, lessons or home practice, and its durable construction ensures years of use as children grow and progress. With its professional feel, stylish finishes and trusted Ludwig sound, the Pocket Kit provides an ideal foundation for young drummers to start their musical journey with confidence and excitement.
