Both versatile and accessible, the DW Design series all-Maple drums feature DW's exclusive HVLT shell technology to deliver a full-bodied and resonant tone that's suited for a vast range of musical genres and playing styles. This boutique-inspired 4-piece shell pack hosts a myriad of premium features, truly living up to DW's reputation as The Drummer's Choice!

HVLT Shells

Design series drums employ HVLT technology, the same technology that comes standard with the latest DW Collector's Series kits. Combining HVLT grain orientation and slightly thicker 1/32" plies of North American Maple, Design Series shells produce a huge attack and punch that spans the entire tonal spectrum for incredible sonic flexibility. These shells are perfectly tailored for any style of music!

True-Pitch Tuning

With the True-Pitch Tuning Rod system, drummers get even finer control over their sound - DW's patented tuning rods employ 5mm threads instead of the traditional 12/24 found on most other drums. True-Pitch rods feature about 20% more thread, with 1 thread every 0.8mm, compared to 1 thread every 1.05mm on most other drums, resulting in a more precise tuning process.
