DW Collectors Drum Set Review
You don’t buy a high-end Italian suit off the rack. Rather, each suit is tailored to your exact specifications, using the materials you choose. Likewise, you won’t find a new DW Collectors Series Drum Set for sale online or on a drum shop’s floor. These sets are custom-build one kit at a time. Musicians make their choices from the finest shells, sizes, finishes, features and options, and at the end of the process have a one-of-a-kind set. Tailored to Perfection
Customization begins with the shells. Your options include the flagship North American Hard Rock Maple that will deliver warm, sweet tones in any range, and a long, low sustain, or select Heartwood Birch, for a cooler, crisper sound that owns the middle of the tone spectrum, and offers short, quick sustain. Horizontal grains and multiple-ply design guarantee world-class resonance and projection. Players wanting lower overall tones may select either wood in vertical grain, to make use of DW’s patented Vertical Low Timber technology. Low end quality is assured on all toms and basses 14” and up with built-in bottoms. Hardware options for the DW Collectors Series Drum Sets include colors like 24K, chrome, satin chrome, black chrome, and black nickel. All toms employ the Suspension Tom Mount (STM) system for better resonance. Tom legs come in several lengths, in steel or aluminum, with finishes to match your hardware selection. Choose triple-flange or die-cast hoops for your desired sound and style of play, and tune it just right with the True-Pitch tuning rods with a tighter 10/32 thread design. Veneers and lacquer finishes in a nearly infinite number of combinations provide custom looks are awesome as the sound. Add your choice of graphics for a truly personal touch.
Conclusion
Pricing on the DW Collectors Series Drum Set? Uh, not cheap. Used sets, which may not feature the custom choices you’d select, start near $2,500. New custom sets begin at over $3000.
