The Performance Series continues DW's tradition of impeccable craftsmanship, handcrafted in the renowned California Custom Shop. For a limited time, these high-quality drums are now available with 100% birch shells, offering a new level of sonic versatility. Each drum is meticulously crafted, ensuring that musicians have access to the same custom quality that DW is famous for, but with the added benefits of birch. Known for its sharp attack and focused sound, birch is perfect for drummers looking for precision in both live performances and studio sessions.

Sonic Benefits of 100% Birch Shells

Birch shells are celebrated for their unique tonal qualities, providing a crisp attack, short sustain and balanced resonance that suit a wide range of musical styles. Whether you're playing rock, jazz or pop, the 100% birch HVX shells deliver versatility and a complete musical instrument experience. The HVX grain orientation (horizontal-vertical-diagonal) ensures that each shell is stable and sonically responsive, offering a consistent and dynamic sound across all pieces of the kit. For drummers seeking a highly adaptable set, these birch shells are the perfect choice.

Premium Hardware for Professional Performance

The Performance Series is outfitted with hardware features that rival DW's top-tier Collector's Series. Suspended Tom Mounts (STM) ensure resonance and stability, while the quarter-sized turret lugs maintain the sleek DW aesthetic. Graduated triple-flange counter hoops add durability and help shape the tone, allowing for greater control over your sound. With TruePitch 30 tuning tension rods, every Performance Series drum offers highly precise tuning capabilities, ensuring that your kit sounds perfect, whether you're on stage or in the studio.

Versatile Configuration for Every Drumming Need

This Performance Series configuration offers everything a drummer needs for a full and versatile setup. With 10x8" and 12x9" mounted toms, a 16x14" floor tom and an 22x18" bass drum, the kit provides a balanced range of tones, from the quick, sharp response of the smaller toms to the deep, resonant lows of the floor tom. The matching snare drum adds further versatility, allowing drummers to explore a wide variety of playing styles. Made entirely in the U.S.A., this kit is built for professional performance, delivering a perfect blend of craftsmanship, sound and durability.
