This limited-edition Collector's Series shell pack reflects the craftsmanship, precision and performance that have made DW a trusted choice for professional drummers.

Specialized Shell Configuration for Musical Response

Developed through DW drum designer John Good's ongoing exploration of shell construction, DW's Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC) technology strategically alternates woodgrain orientations to influence shell tension, resonance and pitch. The 10" and 12" toms feature 8-ply VLT shells, the 14" floor tom uses an 8-ply X shell, while the 16" floor tom and 22" bass drum utilize 8-ply VLX shells to optimize each drum's tonal character and response. Across the entire kit, the result is a responsive, articulate voice with balanced projection, impressive dynamic range and musical versatility. From articulate rack toms to resonant floor toms and a commanding bass drum, the SSC shells deliver the consistency, sensitivity and expressive response demanded by today's professional drummers.
