DW DWe Wireless Acoustic-Electronic Convertible 5-Piece Drum Set Bundle With 22" Bass Drum, Cymbals and Hardware Lacquer Custom Specialty Midnight Blue Metallic

333 Maple Shells for Acoustic Greatness

Not only is DWe state of the art—it’s a work of art. This 5-piece configuration of the DWe boasts handcrafted 333 maple shells—8x10" and 9x12" rack toms, a 14x16" floor tom, 14x6.5" snare and 22x16" bass drum—all made in the USA. These 333 shells are thoughtfully fashioned so their outermost and innermost plies run vertically, which places less tension on the shell—letting the drum vibrate and resonate more freely. Each drum features True Pitch tension rods, STM mount and graduated hoops, ensuring solid tuning and reliably exceptional sound.

When switching from electronic to acoustic, simply remove the mesh heads and star plate containing all the electronics, replace with the Mylar batter head, and—boom—you have a world-class DW Collectors acoustic kit at your throne. And when switching back to electronic, simply reverse the process, and you’ve got a top-shelf e-kit at the ready.

Cutting-Edge Hardware and Triggering

Another first on this kit is the addition of the DW 5000AD4 single kick dual-chain-drive pedal. This 5-piece set also features heavy-duty DW 5000 Series snare, hi-hat, two combo (for tom and cymbal) and cymbal stands—enough to securely accommodate all the shells and cymbals included in the kit. But the fun really sets in when looking at the triggering hardware. DWe also has a few exciting snare-specific features. The DigiMag drum throw-off, which includes traditional snare wire on-and-off control, can also be programmed to turn the snare on, off or into something totally different when playing electronically. And the snare’s five-zone triggering system detects center, edge, rimshot, rim and a pressure-sensitive cross stick. On another next-level front, the toms give you the ability to pitch bend by varying the head pressure.

The "heart" of the electronic form of this rig is the included DrumLink Wireless USB Hub and DWe Soundworks app. Recognizing up to 30 wireless inputs, the DWe wireless system shatters any previous drum module I/O high-water mark, delivering incredible flexibility. You can connect and pair drums and cymbals to the DrumLink Hub, and then fine-tune your trigger settings via DWe Control, built into the DW Soundworks app. DrumLink also converts wireless signals into MIDI, so third-party modules, and apps can also take full advantage of your triggers. As if that wasn’t enough, DWe even includes its own audio interface, the RTap (Real-time Audio Processor), letting you connect to stereo speakers and multi-channel audio interfaces in a beautifully portable form factor.

For acoustic and electronic drummers looking for the ultimate in sound and versatility, the DWe covers all the bases in stellar, one-of-a-kind fashion. The fruits of DW’s decades of research, innovation and drum-crafting know-how have come to bear in this 5-piece DWe Acoustic-Electronic Convertible Wireless complete drum kit. It’s made at DW’s Oxnard, California factory, and the attention to detail is palpable.
