Designed to authentically replicate the drums of the '30s, '40s and '50s.
DW Classics Series drums feature a poplar-mahogany shell with oversized all-maple reinforcement hoops and a soft butter bearing edge for a dark, punchy tone. DW's goal with Classics was to craft a road-worthy kit with all of todays professional features, but one that still satisfies even the most diehard vintage fanatics.
It also features DW's patented STM (suspension tom mount) system, which allows drums to vibrate independently, allowing maximum resonance while securely holding the drum in place. Because there are no washers or grommets inhibiting the lug rod receiver, choking is reduced and tuning is as easy as ever.
To give drummers even more control over their sound, DW created its patented True-Pitch rod system. The rods feature 5mm threads rather than the 12/24 that's standard on most other drums. To compare, there is 1 thread every 0.8mm on True-Pitch rods (about 20% more threads), versus 1 thread every 1.05mm on most other drums. The result is a more exacting tuning process.
Crested by chrome hardware, this shell pack features a 13" x 9" rack tom, a 16" x 16" floor tom and a 24" x 14" kick drum. Snare, cymbals and hardware sold separately.
