Carefully crafted in DW’s California Custom Shop, this DW Performance Series 5-piece Shell Pack - Natural Satin Oil instills aggressive attack with crisp tonality in every strike.

Optimized HVX birch shells

For us drummers, a shell pack of 100% birchwood introduces an exciting tonal foundation to work with. With a versatile sonic nature rooted in organic crispness and both boosted highs and lows, these shells already sound superb from the start. But DW takes this attraction one step further! By implementing their HVX plying system into the DNA of each shell, all drums within this Performance series alternate their grain orientation in a horizontal-vertical-diagonal pattern. This measure guarantees a stronger low-end sound and uniformity in tone while maximizing the structural integrity of each shell, permitting that fantastic birch tone to shine with unmatched purity and presence.

Additionally, the 8-ply tom and bass drum shells of this 5-piece shell pack boast meticulous musical refinements at their bearing edges. With precision cut, perfectly balanced 45-degree edges for the toms and wide-open 60-degree edges at the bass drum, drummers get to experience the utmost in sustain and sonic depth throughout the Performance series’ entire frequential range. From head to toe, these birch shells are suited for the spotlight.

Cymbals, stands, snare, and other hardware not included.

Punching above its weight

DW devotees will notice that the hardware in this shell pack is strikingly reminiscent to that of the company’s top-of-the-line Collector’s series — and they’d be correct. This Performance series pack uses DW’s iconic Suspension Tom Mounts to preserve each rack tom’s natural shell resonance. Also, those gorgeous 1/4-sized turret lugs that DW is known so well for can be found around every drum, anchoring down steadfast and rubber-washered True-Pitch tension rods to keep your tuning from slipping underneath even the most expressive patterns.

For its hoops, the Performance series dons triple-flanged examples that promote an extraordinarily wide tuning range, reduce weight, and lighten the blow for your drumsticks. The bass drum sports lovely matching birch hoops fastened down by low-mass claw hooks that keep your shell and its heads living up to their natural potential.
