To celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the Performance Series, we are introducing a Limited-Edition kit in our iconic Broken Glass FinishPly, available for the first time in this series. Handcrafted in our California Custom Shop, these drums feature 100% North American Maple shells designed for exceptional versatility across genres, both live and in the studio. Constructed with HVX (horizontal-vertical-diagonal) SSC grain orientation, the shells deliver a low fundamental, punchy attack, and classic warm tone. Toms and bass drum are built from 8 plies of Hard Rock Maple with 45°/60° back-cut bearing edges, while snares feature 10 plies with a 45° edge for added cut and projection. Performance Series drums share many hardware details with the Collector’s Series, including Suspended Tom Mounts (STM), quarter-sized turret lugs, and triple-flange graduated counter hoops. Bass drums come with matching maple hoops and low-mass claw hooks, while all drums include DW’s True-Pitch tension rods for precise tuning. This configuration includes 8x10 and 9x12 mounted toms, a 14x16 floor tom, and an 18x22 bass drum. With only a limited number produced, this kit is the sole Performance Series offering in the legendary Broken Glass finish, a collector-worthy instrument built to perform.
