The DW Performance Series 9x13" Rack Tom delivers a rich, resonant sound that's unmistakably DW. Crafted in California by the same artisans behind the legendary Collector's Series, this tom is designed to fit seamlessly into any drum kit. At the heart of its powerful sound is the HVX maple shell, featuring a unique grain orientation that includes horizontal, vertical, and diagonal plies. This innovative design not only enhances the drum's fundamental tone but also ensures maximum strength and roundness through a precise heat forming and Cool Tempering process.

The Performance Series tom boasts DW's distinctive reduced Quarter Turret lugs, giving it a sleek, modern appearance while maintaining the robust tuning capabilities DW is renowned for. Its True-Pitch tension rods further refine tuning accuracy, ensuring your sound is consistently on point.
