Walnut wood shells for sound that's both brilliant and full.
With the Ddrum Dios Walnut drum shells, mids and lows are the element of emphasis. This gorgeous North American walnut wood is dense and heavy, it resonates with thunderous enormity in the lower register, and seems to almost expand with every stroke. However, its hardwood characteristics allow for brightness in the voicing that is not attainable with standard maple or birch, making it the perfect drum for recording.
Dios Series drums are fashioned to bridge the gap between time-tested orthodoxy and the latest in percussion technology. Beginning with bubinga from West Africa, these shells are thinner in nature to allow the unique tonal character of these exotic hardwoods to truly shine. The eight plies of the drum shell are cross-laminated in an alternating vertical/horizontal grain pattern. This allows the outer shell to showcase the natural splendor of the wood through a glass-like lacquer finish. The hand-stained inner shell of each drum creates a smooth conduit for vibration and sound to travel through, delivering tone that will ignite an almost emotional response every time it is played. Accented further with classic tube-style lugs, die-cast hoops, and a variety of unique setups, Dios Series drums respond to the call for a new percussive tradition.
Cymbals and hardware not included.
