Crafted from 10 plies of North American Hard Rock Maple, the same exact maple used on DW’s legendary Custom Shop Drums, Performance Series maple snares are lacquered inside for enhanced brightness and attack and finished in natural hand-sprayed lacquer to show off the natural beauty of the wood and is neutral enough to match any drum kit. These drums combined with 3.0mm Triple Flanged hoops, provide warmth and a throaty backbeat.

The Performance Series from DW offers a brand new shell technology devised by John Good and the DW Custom Shell Shop in California. Combining the latest grain orientation technology and hand-selected North American Hard Rock Maple, Performance Series' proprietary HVX shells deliver a low, punchy fundamental, with ample resonance and projection that's perfectly suited for live applications.
