Crafted with precision and care, the DW Performance Series 100% Maple Drum Set is an embodiment of musical craftsmanship. Handcrafted in DW’s California Custom Shop, this drum set is made from 100% North American maple, which is renowned for its warm, resonant tone and impressive projection. The innovative HVX grain orientation—horizontal, vertical, and diagonal—ensures a robust low-end and tonal consistency, making it a versatile choice for both live gigs and studio sessions.

Each drum in the Performance Series is equipped with DW's iconic quarter-turn turret lugs and triple-flanged hoops, enhancing the kit's structural integrity while allowing for easy tuning adjustments. The Suspension Tom Mounts (STM) ensure that each tom sings with maximum resonance, providing a clear, sustained sound that cuts through any mix. The set's bearing edges are crafted with precision, featuring 45-degree cuts for the toms and snare, and 60-degree cuts for the bass drum, which enhances both sustain and depth.
