The DW Design Series shell pack gives you custom-quality drums at an affordable price. With 100-percent maple shells and professional hardware, this set provides the warm, resonant tone and rugged durability that serious drummers demand.

Maple Shells Produce Balanced Tone

The eight-ply maple shells feature HVLT grain orientation for balanced tone with equal emphasis on low-end punch and crisp highs. The shell's thickness and wood type allow them to sing with rich harmonics. When you play, you'll get satisfying depth from the kick drum and articulate response from the toms. For studio work or live shows, the Design Series cuts through with a versatile sound that works for any genre.

Reliable Hardware With Enhanced Features

The hardware includes DW's True-Pitch tuning, allowing precise head tensioning for accurate tuning and longer drum head life. Low-mass mini-turret lugs reduce weight without sacrificing strength. Suspension tom mounts alleviate stress on the shells, letting them resonate freely. Graduated counter hoops add sensitivity and shell protection. Together, these enhancements provide a professional playing experience with rock-solid reliability.

Expanded Tom and Kick Drum Sizes

This shell pack includes larger tom and kick drum sizes for maximum tone and power. You get 10x8" and 12x9" rack toms for fullness, a 16x14" floor tom with commanding low end and a 22x18" kick drum that produces visceral punch. With these sizes, you can create huge sounds for rock, metal or fusion. The set gives you a versatile palette for crafting your signature drum mix.

Premium Looks Meet Custom-Shop Quality

The Royal Strata finish gives the Design Series a touch of class with its metallic shimmer. Behind the flashy exterior are attributes found in DW's prestigious Collectors Series: North American maple, precision manufacturing and attention to detail. Serious drummers will appreciate the set's blend of professional-level performance, bold aesthetics and affordability. For your next recording or tour, the DW Design Series shell pack delivers.
