Description

Introducing the ddrum double bass drum set Dios, a masterpiece crafted for discerning drummers who crave a blend of classic aesthetics and modern performance. This flagship series from ddrum showcases premium 6-ply North American maple shells, known for their rich tonal qualities and robust projection. The shells are finished with a durable UV-cured lacquer that not only enhances their visual appeal but also contributes to their longevity.

The ddrum Dios set is fitted with low-mass hardware, including their classic bullet tube lugs and 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops, which reduce shell contact for increased resonance. The innovative FixPitch suspension tom mounts and Resolift bass drum system further enhance the kit’s sound clarity, offering drummers a dynamic playing experience across genres. Whether you're laying down tracks in the studio or commanding the stage, this kit delivers a punchy, balanced sound with remarkable sustain.

Stocked with ddrum-branded Evans heads (G2s, G1s, EQ4), the Dios set is ready to perform right out of the box, providing exceptional tone and tuning stability. Its thoughtful design and premium features make it a standout choice for musicians seeking both quality and style.

  • 6-ply North American maple shells

  • 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops

Mods and upgrades
