Here we have a stunning DW Collectors Series drum kit with pure maple shells finished in Piano Black Lacquer in some great sizes. This kit was born in 2006 and is in good condition. Looking at the kit it's easy to see why DW started to draw so much attention and admiration for their drums after releasing the Collectors II with the now famous 5 & 3 Maple Shells.
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.
