Jaw-dropping mapa burl veneers in a burst lacquer finish add luxury and sparkle to the SSC maple shells found on this DW Collector's Exotic kit. This promotes tremendous balance across the kit: you get high toms that cut, a floor tom that sings, and a kick drum that springs to life with the slightest touch. The DW Collector's Exotic shell pack is the result of more than a decade of DW Custom Shop shell technology and serves as a prime example of DW's tone-enhancing innovations and glamorous finish options. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information about this eye-catching, deluxe-sounding work of art from DW's master builders.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


The creme of the DW Custom Shop





Sweetwater is proud to offer you the Collector's Series ? DW's flagship line of custom drums from its California Custom Shop. Expertly crafted from solid North American hard rock maple with mapa burl veneers, this DW Collector's Exotic shell pack has collector's-grade looks and a voice that demands to be experienced firsthand.





Shells enhanced with SSC shell optimization





Each of DW's grain orientation types ? VLT, HVLT, VLX, and X ? have a profound effect on a shell's fundamental pitch. Fortunately, DW's Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC) simplifies things for the customer. SSC just means that DW selects the best type of shell construction for each drum in the DW Collector's Exotic shell pack. Sweetwater drummers were impressed by the impact this had on overall balance. Toms sound harmonious across the kit, with plenty of bite and pure tone. And Sweetwater drummers noted that the 20-inch kick drum has the sort of depth and openness that more closely resembles a 22-inch in traditional drum sizes ? a definite win for rock drummers.
