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 Hard Rock Maple and uses the latest grain orientation technology to produce HVX shells that deliver low punchy tones with heaps of resonance and projection. This innovative hybrid design makes them perfect for live applications. All Performance shells are cool tempered. This means that once they have been baked under pressure they are pressurised cooler to ensure that the glue instantly crystallises and the shell hardens to a perfect cylinder. This gives the shells maximum strength perfect roundness and enhanced resonance. The process also greatly increases your tuning stability. DW shell hardware Further increasing the tuning stability the Performance Series comes with fine-threaded True-Pitch tension rods to ensure tuning stays firmly in place. The 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 be recognisable for a reason. Easy to tune superior sounding HVX shells with Remo heads True Pitch&trade
