Here we have a DW Collectors Series, finished in Ruby Glass Finish Ply with Black Nickel fittings in some really nice sizes. This kit is in great condition throughout, we have re-headed the entire kit with new Evans Batters and Resonants. This particular kit has a mix of DW's 'SSC' specialised shell configuration options featuring VLT, X and VLX shells which simply put optimizes the drum kits tuning range and frequency response per size and type of drum.
Pure Maple Shell
The most popular wood for drum making, maple is a hardwood that produces maximum resonance, projection and attack. Combined with reinforcement hoops, it can produce a more focused sound and is well suited for live and studio applications.
Bearing edges for these drums are 45 degree, while the bass drum is 60 degree. All cuts are from the outer edge of the shell tapered toward the inside of the drums.
Timbre Matched
All of these shells underwent the DW Timbre-Matching process. Utilizing a digital tuner as part of DW's patented pitch identification procedure, each of these shells is stamped on its sweet spot with the shell's relative note-value.
