A gorgeous set of Ringoesque Delmar FinishPly wraps adds a classic vibe to the cutting-edge SSC maple shells found on this DW Collector's shell pack. DW's bulletproof North American rock maple shell construction gives this kit with a rich, deep tone, for toms that carry and a kick that roars. The 18-inch x 22-inch undrilled kick is especially impressive in this pack, exhibiting a weight and heft that more closely resembles a traditional 24-inch-diameter shell. You also get Collector's Series hardware in this kit ? graduated True-Hoops, high-thread True-Pitch 50 tension screws, and tone-enhancing tom legs and mounts ? for tour-ready durability and precision performance. The DW Collector's shell pack is the result of more than a decade of DW Custom Shop shell technology and serves as a prime example of DW's tone-enhancing innovations and glamorous finish options. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information about this eye-catching, deluxe-sounding work of art from DW's master builders.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Straight from the DW Custom Shop





Sweetwater is proud to offer you the Collector's Series ? DW's flagship line of custom drums from its California Custom Shop. Expertly crafted from solid North American hard rock maple and crowned with premium hardware and durable Delmar-sourced FinishPly wraps, this DW Collector's shell pack has collector's-grade looks and a voice that demands to be experienced firsthand.





Shells enhanced with SSC shell optimization





Each of DW's grain orientation types ? VLT, HVLT, VLX, and X ? has a profound effect on a shell's fundamental pitch. Fortunately, DW's Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC) simplifies things for the customer. SSC just means that DW selects the best type of shell construction for each drum in the DW Collector's shell pack. Sweetwater drummers were impressed by the impact this had on overall balance. Toms sound harmonious across the kit, with plenty of bite and pure tone. And Sweetwater drummers noted that the 20-inch kick drum has the sort of depth and openness that more closely resembles a 22-inch in traditional drum sizes ? a definite win for rock drummers.
