  • Beautiful Drum - DW Quality

    The drum performs. This is considered "entry level" for DW but is high quality. Anyone that sees it says the same thing - "Beautiful" - I really love the Sea Glass. They say acrylic scratches easily but have found this quite durable, but does collect finger prints. LOVE the mag throw off.

    perfect for rock & heavy metal if this color was expandable more than a 5 piece set I would have bought it, as for the snare it is perfect for my DW Collectors series set ,5x14 that came with the set was good but this thing is great!

    You have seen Bonham, Theodore & others play acrylic kits. Here's your chance to dabble with an acrylic snare at a reasonable price. I'm sold; this drum sounds amazing. It is made in Taiwan. The chrome on the lugs are not as nice or look as durable as a DW Collector's Series though.

  • My favorite piece of my kit!
