DW Drummers talk Performance Series

DW

collapse expand iconDescription

No detail has been overlooked. No corners cut. Its look and sound are custom-inspired. Its value difficult to match. To its makers, the Performance Series exemplifies what it means to be handcrafted by DW. In addition to advanced HVX shell technology devised and constructed by John Good and the US-based DW Custom Shop team in Oxnard, California, this Performance Series 5-piece kit is fitted with quarter turret lugs, low mass die-cast claw hooks, and finished in a gorgeous Black Diamond framed by chrome hardware.

The HVX shells used on the Performance Series combine advanced grain orientation technology and hand-selected North American hard rock maple to deliver a low, punchy fundamental, with ample resonance and projection that's perfectly suited for live applications.

Cymbals and hardware not included.

  • Great kit

    Great drum kit. I play everything from Christian music to hard metal with lots of double bass. This kit will be able to handle anything you throw at it. The stock heads are not good, definitely replace the heads as soon as possible. I use Evans g2 coated on the toms and Evans eq batter for the bass and they sound awesome. The biggest surprise was the kick drum. For a 20" it has more punch, attack and projection than my 22" kick with the same head. I have had many complements on the sound of this kit especially the kick drum. All I can say is that this kit is well worth the price and built for a long lasting life. I will be playing this kit for many years.
