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.
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. They're designed to be recognisable for a reason. Easy to tune, superior sounding HVX shells with Remo heads, True Pitch™ Tuning, and an all-new MAG throw-off. The DW Performance snare drum is the ultimate gigging snare for reliablity and sound. And, with DW 45 degree back-cut bearing edges and a 10-ply construction, this snare drum really sings with loud, projective tone.
Chrome Standard triple-flanged hoops give these drums a versatile and wide-open sound that suits all types of players from jazz and funk to rock and hip hop.
DW Performance Series drums come standard with a set of heads made specially for DW by Remo USA. The DW Performance series snare drum comes with Coated Control Sound batter heads (with tuning sequence numbering) and clear snare side resonant heads.
