The best of the DW Custom Shop





Sweetwater is proud to offer you the DW Collector's Series, its flagship line of custom drums from its California Custom Shop. Expertly crafted from solid North American hard rock maple (as in this shell pack), select heartwood birch, maple/mahogany blends, or exotic tonewoods, DW Collector's Series drums are available in an endless range of shell configurations and a bounteous array of high-end finishes and hardware options to suit any player's needs.





Shells enhanced with SSC shell optimization





John Good has ushered in a drum technology Renaissance as of late. Each of DW's grain orientation types - VLT, HVLT, VLX, and X - have a profound effect on a drum's fundamental pitch. Fortunately for us, DW's Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC) simplifies things for the end-user. SSC just means that DW selects the best type of shell construction for each drum size in the Collector's Series FinishPly shell pack. The result? Toms sound harmonious across the kit, with plenty of bite and a pure tone. And Sweetwater drummers noted that the 22" kick drum has the sort of depth and openness that more closely resembles a 24" in traditional drum sizes - a definite win for rock drummers.





Unshakable DW quality provides the sound and performance serious drummers demand





For over 30 years, DW has made some of the most revered drums, pedals, stands, and drum hardware on the market. It all began with an innovative adjustable trap-case seat. This was the first of DW's many breakthrough hardware designs, and it proved to the world that DW understands what drumming is all about. DW's custom-drum craftsmanship over the years has more than set the bar for drum makers everywhere. Discover this commitment to quality for yourself in the DW Collector's Series shell pack.
