There's a reason why top drummers play DW drums - it's all about the sound and feel. For decades, DW has tweaked their ply shells to find the optimal sound, which has resulted in a variety of shells to meet the variety of needs by today's drummers. This particular kit features DW's newly developed 9-ply VLT shell construction. These maple shells give you punch, warmth, sustain, and clarity right out of the box. The whole package is tied together with a stunning Ultra Violet finish with Black Nickel Hardware.

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. The drums are 9-plies and constructed in DW's VLT grain orientation. 

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.
