Whether you’re a drummer looking for a record-ready kick drum sound or a self-accompanying solo performer, you’ll find what you’re after in the DW Performance Series bass drum. Its HVX maple shell is hand built in the same California plant, by the same skilled craftsmen, as DW’s inimitable Collector’s Series. Its hardware even offers many of the same tuning and performance advantages. Reduced Quarter Turret lugs and a range of specialty wrap, lacquer, and satin finishes give the Performance Series bass drum a heart and soul all its own.
DW Performance Series vs DW Collector’s Series
Unlike the 100% custom Collector’s Series, the DW Performance Series maximizes value by limiting configurable options. If you’re in the market for an authentic American DW playing experience at a real-world price, look no further than the Performance Series.
Specialty Performance finishes
DW Performance Series bass drums are available in several finish options. Choose hand-applied lacquer and satin stains for a contemporary look; or for something more classic, choose DW’s durable FinishPly wraps, sourced from Delmar USA’s UV-treated specialty plastics.
HVX maple shell
Performance Series bass drums begin with DW’s US-built, handcrafted HVX hard rock North American maple shells. The HVX grain orientation arranges wood plies horizontally, vertically, and diagonally for a deep and satisfying fundamental. Shells are baked in pressure molds (2600 PSI at 200°F) then immediately Cool Tempered to crystallize the glue, maximizing strength, roundness, and resonance. John Good’s 60° bearing edges promise effortless playability, whatever your style.
Proprietary DW hardware
Unique to the Performance Series are DW’s reduced-size Quarter Turret lugs. These offer a decidedly sleeker, more modern appearance that many DW artists prefer. A closer look reveals much of the same hardware found throughout the DW’s Collector’s Series:
- Low-mass, non-slip spurs stabilize performance
- Fine-threaded True-Pitch tension rods maximize tuning accuracy
- Matching maple hoops promote a warmer, rounder tone
