PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Maple HVX Shell DW Performance snares feature 10-ply HVX construction. This brand new shell technology was devised by John Good and the DW Custom Shell Shop in California. DW takes hand-selected North American 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 particularly perfect for live applications. All Performance shells are baked under pressure then cool tempered to ensure that the glue instantly crystalises and the shell hardens to a perfect cylinder. This process greatly increases tuning stability. DW Hardware DW Performance Drums are custom-inspired with double threaded centre lugs new badge logo head and a hand-sprayed specialty lacquer finish. Theyre designed to get noticed for all the right reasons. Easy to tune superior sounding HVX shells combined with DW heads by Remo USA all-new MAG throw-off and DW 45 degree back-cut bearing edges make the Performance Series ideal for touring professionals. 3mm Chrome Standard Triple Flange Hoops give these drums a really versatile sound that suits all types of players from jazz and funk to rock and hip hop. However the inclusion of DWs sought-after True Pitch tuning rods took the Performance Series Snares range through the roof. The rods feature 5mm threads rather than the 12/24 thats 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. Remo Heads DW Performance Series drums come standard with a set of heads made specially for DW by Remo USA. Snare drums come with our Coated Control Sound batter heads (with tuning sequence numbering) and Clear snare side resonant heads. About DW Drums Drum Workshop or DW Drums has been on the market now for over 30 years. Hailed as the "drummers choice" DW drums have become the standard against which many others are measured. Both drummers themselves Don Lombardi and John Good began DW in 1972 to create new and innovative products to improve the art of drumming. "We are always thinking about how to make things a little bit better we try to respond to that thread that runs through every drummers soul." John DW Drums Now this hugely respected American drum brand has artists the like of Dave Grohl Aaron Spears (Usher) Neil Peart (Rush) Sheila E (Prince) and Roger Taylor (Queen) on their roster and is recognised worldwide as a mark of quality.
