What We Think

DW’s Collectors Series of drums represents a pinnacle of American drum building, and their Collectors Maple Sets are the standard-bearer of the brand. These all maple shells with reinforcement rings produce a tone that’s clear and warm, with plenty of versatility across a wide tuning range. The SSC grain orientation offers maximum resonance and strength. We found that this particular kit especially likes to be tuned to a medium/medium-high tension, but still offers plenty of punch at lower tunings. This kit’s fusion sizes make it a wonderful choice for professional gigging drummers looking for the convenience of a smaller kit without having to compromise on sound, or looks. The stunning Pale Blue Pearl finish is a classic look that can fit in with just about any live setting. If you’re looking for quality and versatility, this kit is for you!

Manufacturer's Description from DW Drums

DW's flagship line, the Collector’s Series, are the original US-made custom drums. For years, drum makers have preferred maple for its resonant tonal qualities. Maple is a traditional shell material that provides low-end punch, warmth and attack. This DW Shell Pack features North American Maple shells with 3-ply reinforcement hoops. Toms 8-13" are 6-ply, while 14" and bigger are 7-ply. Bass drums are 7-ply and snare drums are 10-ply (with 6-ply reinforcement hoops).

It also features DW’s patented STM (suspension tom mount) system, which allows drums to vibrate independently, allowing maximum resonance while securely holding the drum in place. Because there are no washers or grommets inhibiting the lug rod receiver, choking is reduced and tuning is as easy as ever. To give drummers even more control over their sound, DW created its patented True-Pitch rod system. The rods feature 5mm threads rather than the 12/24 that’s standard on most other drums. To compare, there is 1 thread every 0.8mm on True-Pitch® rods (about 20% more threads), versus 1 thread every 1.05mm on most other drums. The result is a more exacting tuning process
