PDP by DW

collapse expand iconDescription

PDP's Concept Series 6-piece maple shell pack combines the resonant tone of maple with high-end features at an accessible price. Designed with input from DW's Custom Shop, these drums are built to exacting standards and ready to handle any musical situation. The 100% maple shells provide the warm, rich sound that has made maple famous. The 22x18" kick, along with 10x8" and 12x9" toms, generate punchy lows and clear mids. Two floor toms, 14x12" and 16x14", provide extra versatility. The 5.5x14" snare cuts through with a crisp attack.

Maple Shells Engineered for Superior Tone

At the heart of the Concept Series are 100% maple shells, renowned for their ability to produce round, resonant notes with rich sustain. Seven plies thick for the toms and kick and ten plies for the snare, these shells are carefully crafted to DW's exacting standards. The result is a set that projects clearly, even at lower volumes, with a balanced frequency response that fits in any mix.

Premium Hardware Built to Last

From the sturdy bass drum claws to the adjustable tom mounts, every component on the Concept Series is built for professional use. The True-Pitch tension rods provide precise, even tension across the drum heads for easy tuning and a consistent feel. The snare throw-off mechanism allows for fast head changes, while the steel snare wires provide a crisp, sensitive response. With premium features throughout, this set is made to handle years of regular use without issue.

A Configuration for Any Need

With a 22x18" kick, a versatile selection of toms and two floor toms, the Concept Series 6-piece shell pack is suitable for any musical application. The kick provides solid low end, while the rack toms cut through clearly. The floor toms offer extra sonic options for more complex playing. Together, these drums have the range to handle rock, funk, jazz, blues and more. For players and teachers looking for an affordable, all-purpose set, the Concept Series delivers.

    I can't really say enough good about this kit. The carbon fiber wrap is so nice and is the real deal! I feel like this finish can stand up very well in terms of durability and protection when moving to gigs and such. Plus the fact that you get an all-maple kit with DW quality hardware. It really can't be beat! the absolute only issue I had personally was one of my floor toms had a flat spot in the bearing edge but thankfully customer service was excellent and I got that tom replaced instantly.

    This is only the shell pack, so it doesn't come with cymbal stands or a kick pedal.
