Dw Drum Kits

DW stands for Drum Workshop. This is an Oxnard, California based company that specializes in making drum kits. The company that goes by the tagline of The Drummer’s Choice is a definite hit among various celebrity drummers from across the world. At the same time, the DW drum kit also appeals to the rookie drummer who is just trying to assess whether to really pursue drumming or not. DW makes drums kits to suit a large range of people, right from indecisive beginners and kids who are just starting out to professionals who play in rock band shows with thousands of people in attendance.

There are several models that can refer to DW drum kits. These can be broadly divided into collector series drum kits, jazz series drum kits, classic drum kits and eco-X drum kits. Each of these lines has specific characteristics and is meant to appeal to a special group of people. The collector’s series includes some of the best products of DW, many of which have gone on to lend a unique identity to the company. At the same time, the classics include the special vintage logo and are made with a traditionally old design that has undergone few changes over the decades. The eco-X series is called so because it is made of nature-friendly woods such as bamboo and birch which maintain the high quality of sound but also help the environment when the drums are eventually discarded.

Apart from the series, you will find various other points that make these drum kits quite special. For instance, there are various sizes available to suit different kinds of players. These sizes range from a mere 8” to a very large 28”. The drums also come in various finishes that include satin oil, lacquer, hard satin and FinishPly. The hardware also displays diversity in that it can contain colors such as black, pure gold, chrome, black chrome and satin chrome among other choices.

A few features are added to enhance the music that is produced on the DW drum kits. An important addition here are the true pitch tuning rods which makes certain that you are producing an optimum pitch and tone of sound. The drumheads are also specially made, coated with special materials including crystals. Remo heads are usually available with these drum kits.

And if you are looking for something fun and interesting, without going the whole way, you might want to take a look at some of the smaller DW drum kits which are also quite popular. These include cocktail drums and a junior drum kit. There are accessories available such as STM tom mounts and bass drum woofers. Various toms like Rata toms and timbale toms could be added to the DW drum kit package as well.
