For decades, DW Collectors Series drums have boasted a signature clarity and articulation that has made the brand world famous. The Jazz Series takes that signature sound and flips it upside down and expands DW's tonal offering. Feautring hybrid Maple/Gum shells, Jazz Series drums produce a warm and fat sound reminiscent of classic, vintage drums. Classic jazz and modern fusion players alike will love the musicality and tonal warmth that these shells can produce. The whole package is tied together with a classic Blue Glass Glitter Finish Ply that will look just gorgeous under stage lights.

From straight-ahead Bop, to Big Band, Fusion, Latin, or even Hard Rock, DW Jazz Series™ drums provide a warm, tonal spectrum that is studio-friendly and perfectly suited for live applications. Inspired by the American drum sounds of the late 70’s and early 80’s, the Jazz Series shells feature a thick gumwood core that can be combined with maple, mahogany, or cherry inner and outer plies. Jazz shells can also be customized with any available California Custom Shop finish and drum hardware color. This is how DW does Jazz. 

At the heart of every DW Jazz Series™ shell is a thick 3-ply gum core. The soft, porous gumwood offers a warm, round, punchy sound that can be complemented by either the resonant attack of maple or the musical qualities of mahogany or cherry. These combinations can even be intermixed within a kit to further customize specific sonic preferences. And unlike Collector’s Series® or DW Classics™, DW Jazz Series™ drums don’t have reinforcement hoops, allowing for a more open, less focused sound.
