DISC DW Drums Performance Series 22" 4 Piece Shell Pack w/Free

Full Description

Maple HVX shells

The DW Performance Drums feature a brand-new shell technology devised by John Good and the DW Custom Shell Shop in California. DW takes hand-selected North American Hard Rock Maple and uses the latest grain orientation technology to produce HVX shells that deliver low, punchy tones with plenty of resonance and projection. This innovative hybrid makes them perfect for live applications.

All Performance shells are cool tempered which means that once they have been baked under pressure, they are pressurised cooler to ensure that the glue instantly crystallises, and the shell hardens to a perfect cylinder. This process greatly increases tuning stability.

Professional standard DW hardware

The DW Performance Drums are custom-inspired, with a new Quarter Turret lug (a scaled-down version of the famous round DW lug), low mass die-cast claw hook, new badge, logo head and ultra-durable hand-sprayed specialty lacquer finish. They're designed to get noticed for all the right reasons. Easy to tune, superior sounding HVX shells, combined with DW heads by Remo USA, STM™ (Suspension Tom Mounts), True Pitch™ Tuning and DW 45 degree back-cut bearing edges, make these drums sing.

Chrome Standard triple-flanged hoops give these drums a versatile sound that suits all types of players from jazz and funk to rock and hip hop. Steel triple-flanged hoops come in graduated weights (1.6mm for 8 & 10" toms, 2.3mm for 12-18" toms).

DW’s patented STM™ (suspension tom mount) system allows the drums to vibrate freely, for 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 their 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. Performance Series floor toms also feature chrome plated steel 21" legs for stability and strength.

Remo drumheads

DW Performance Series drums come standard with a set of heads made specially for DW by Remo USA. The bass drums feature coated/clear batter heads (with inlay ring) and ebony resonant logo heads (vented).

Toms come standard with coasted/clear batter heads and clear resonant tom heads. The coated/clear heads incorporate a coated tone ring for just the right amount of muffling with plenty of resonance. Crimped flesh hoops provide maximum vibration and durability.

Long-lasting protection

Hardcase drum cases provide full protection for your drums. The hard-plastic material is both hard wearing and waterproof for long lasting reliability. The unique shapes keep you drums in an upright or flat position with equal sturdiness, making it easier than ever to store away or travel with. The adjustable belt locking system keeps your drums secure, providing a cushioned surface from the foam pads which protect the finish on your drum shells.

Intuitive design

The Hardcase design has deservedly become an industry favourite. The structure and shape have been specifically engineered to be both lightweight and protective. The outer casing is waterproof and durable enough to withstand frequent gigs, so is ideal for working musicians. The internal foam grip pads allow enough distance between the drum and case to prevent any scuffing. The Hardcase’s curved saddle can keep the drums upright and stable, which is suitable for compact spaces and storing your equipment. The cases come in a variety of colours to suit every musician’s preference. The adjustable straps secure your drum into place regardless of its diameter, so the cases are applicable to a variety of instruments.
