Introducing the Limited Edition DW Performance Series Birch Kit & Snare
DW’s Performance Series drum shells are handcrafted in California using the company’s HVX (horizontal-vertical-diagonal) grain orientation to ensure musical expression and optimum performance. For a limited time, these custom-quality drums are available constructed with 100% Birch. Both the kit and snare are finished with a natural satin oil finish and fitted with DW’s innovative chrome hardware.
The kit includes 8 x 10” and 9 x 12” mounted toms, a 14 x 16” floor tom, and an 18 x 22” bass drum. The tom and bass drum shells are made using 8-ply birch with 45 and 60-degree back cut bearing edges. The hardware includes Suspended Tom Mounts (STM), quarter-sized turret lugs, and graduated triple-flange counter hoops. The bass drum is completed with matching Birch hoops and low-mass claw hooks. All the drums are equipped with True-Pitch® tuning tension rods.
The 6-½ x 14” snare has been built with a 10-ply Birch shell with a 60-degree back cut edge. The snare is fitted with a DW MAG throw-off, a 3P (3-Position snare toggle) butt plate, 3mm triple-flanged counter hoops, Performance series turret lugs, and True-Pitch® tuning tension rods.
Birch has long been a favourite of studio drummers and sound engineers, striking a perfect balance between crisp articulation and warm tones. Suitable for live or studio performance of a range of musical genres, the Limited Edition Performance Birch kit and snare drums offer crisp response, sharp attack, and short sustain all combined with a balanced resonance.
