The Performance Series is handcrafted with North American Maple by DW in the California Custom Shop. These custom-quality drums feature 100% North American Maple shells for inspiring tone provides versatility across musical genres and shines in both live and studio environments. The shells of this series are constructed with HVX' (horizontal-vertical-diagonal) SSC grain orientation for a low fundamental with punchy attack and classic warm tone. The tom and bass drum shells feature eight plies of North American Hard Rock Maple with 45- and 60-degree back cut bearing edges, while snare drums feature 10 plies with a 45-degree back cut edge. This series offers similar hardware features to the Collector's Series, including Suspended Tom Mounts (STM), quarter-sized turret lugs, and triple-flange graduated counter hoops. Performance Series bass drums offer matching Maple hoops and low-mass claw hooks, while all drums are equipped with TruePitch tuning tension rods.
