From DW Drums

A much lighter weight shell than its steel cousin, the Collector’s Stainless Steel is rolled from pure stainless and even has stainless steel True Pitch tension rods and nickel plated steel flanged 3.0 counter hoops. Lugs, throw off and butt plate are nickel plated to complete the look. This drum is a studio workhorse, much like some of the most popular brass drums of the past, but with much less muffling required. The thin beadless shells offer a more resonant tone with more overtones than their thicker rolled-shell cousins.
