Drum Workshop Design Series 4-Piece Drum Shell Pack (Satin, Midnight Blue)

Drum Workshop has taken their custom drum-making know-how and created a line of drums designed to raise the bar yet again. Design Series is a DW kit through and through. From a mini Turret lug, to Remo USA-made Suede outline logo heads and a sleek silver and white badge, its looks are fresh, yet decidedly DW. Also included are pro features such as STM (suspension tom mounts), True-Pitch tuning, MAG throw-off, low-mass die-cast claw hooks, and more. Last but certainly not least, there's the sound. These are thicker North American Maple shells that pack a punch. Incorporating HVLT (vertical low timbre shell with a horizontal outer ply), Design Series shells are full, resonant, and responsive. These shell packs come in satin finishes with drums sizes including 8 x10 and 9 x12 suspended toms, a 14 x16 floor tom, and a 18 x22 bass drum.Maple HVLT ShellsJohn Good and the DW Custom Shell Shop in California bring you HVLT, the same technology that is standard on the Collector's Series Cherry drums. HVLT grain orientation and slightly thicker 1/32 plies of North American maple are a potent combination that delivers a full tonal spectrum, attack, punch, and sonic versatility. Design Series shells are tailored for just about every style of music.STM Suspension Tom MountsDW's patented STM (suspension tom mount) system (U.S. Patent #5520083) allows drums to vibrate freely, allowing maximum resonance while securely holding the drum in place. Because there are no washers or grommets inhibiting the lug rod receiver, choking is reduced and tuning is as easy as ever. True-Pitch Tuning RodsTo give drummers even more control over their sound, DW created its patented True-Pitch rod system. The rods feature 5mm threads rather than the 12/24 that's standard on most other drums. To compare, there is 1 thread every 0.8mm on the DW True-Pitch rods (about 20% more threads), versus 1 thread every 1.05mm on most other drums. The result is a more exact tuning process.Featu
