Sound Pure's Take
This mid-priced professional drum line is designed as a high-quality but affordable alternative for the drummer who desires a real DW kit but can’t afford the pricey Collector’s series sets. The Performance series uses DW’s new HVX shell. These shells have plies that are oriented horizontally, vertically and in an X-shape. These drums also use a slightly smaller version of DW’s classic Turret lug. This smaller lug has less mass and which provides more resonance with less contact with the shells while not detracting from the finish. Speaking of finishes, the Performance line offers your choice of five gloss/oil finishes or four covered wraps.

Add in precision-cut 45° bearing edges, stunning high-gloss lacquer finishes, new lower-mass turret lugs and kick claw hooks, suspension tom mounts, plus Remo heads, and you've got premium drums as only DW can deliver, all at surprisingly affordable prices.
