DW's bulletproof North American rock maple shell construction gives this Collector's Series shell pack a rich, luxurious tone. Each shell's SSC grain optimization comes pre-configured from the factory to give you toms that cut and a kick that roars. It's made all the more impressive by a deep, hand-sprayed lacquer finish that practically springs to life under stage lights. You also get a full outfit of Collector's Series satin chrome hardware in this kit ? graduated True-Hoops, high-thread True-Pitch 50 tension screws, and tone-enhancing tom legs and mounts ? for road-ready durability and precision performance. The DW Collector's shell pack is the result of more than a decade of DW Custom Shop shell technology and serves as a prime example of DW's shell/hardware innovations and glamorous finishing options. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information about this eye-catching, deluxe-sounding work of art from DW's master builders.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Straight from the DW Custom Shop





Sweetwater is proud to offer you the Collector's Series ? DW's flagship line of custom drums from its California Custom Shop. Expertly crafted from solid North American hard rock maple and crowned with premium hardware and durable hand-sprayed lacquer finishes, this DW Collector's shell pack has collector-grade looks and a voice that demands to be experienced firsthand.





Shells enhanced with SSC grain optimization





Each of DW's grain orientation types ? VLT, HVLT, VLX, and X ? has a profound effect on a shell's fundamental pitch. Fortunately, DW's Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC) simplifies things for the customer. SSC just means that DW selects the best type of shell construction for each drum in the DW Collector's shell pack. Sweetwater drummers were impressed by the impact this had on the overall sonic balance. Toms sound harmonious across the kit, with plenty of bite and a pure, even tone. And the 22-inch kick drum has the sort of depth and openness that more closely resembles a 24-inch in traditional drum sizes ? a definite win for rock drummers.
