Available exclusively through Guitar Center, the DW Collector's Series Vavona Exotic SonicPly 4-piece shell pack pairs one of the DW Custom Shop's most visually striking exotic veneers with innovative shell construction engineered for exceptional performance. Finished in Burnt Toast Fade, the genuine Vavona veneer reveals naturally unique figuring that makes every instrument visually one of a kind, while premium nickel hardware completes its refined Custom Shop appearance. The configuration includes 10x8" and 12x9" rack toms, a 16x14" floor tom and a 22x18" bass drum, each built with 9-ply SonicPly shells featuring a center ply of aircraft-grade aluminum surrounded by maple plies for focused attack, articulate response and impressive projection. This limited-edition Collector's Series shell pack reflects the craftsmanship, precision and performance that have made DW a trusted choice for professional drummers.
SonicPly Shell Construction for Focused Performance
DW's proprietary SonicPly construction features 9-ply shells with a 1/36" aircraft-grade aluminum center ply surrounded by American maple plies. This hybrid design blends the warmth and resonance of maple with the focused attack and controlled sustain of aluminum, producing a higher-pitched, brighter voice with crisp articulation and consistent response. The resulting sound is precise yet open, with the projection and tonal control needed for demanding studio sessions and high-energy live performances.
Precision Bearing Edges Shape a Balanced Kit Voice
Precision-cut bearing edges help each drum deliver a defined and musical response across the entire shell pack. The toms feature 45-degree bearing edges designed to support clear tonality and sustain, while the 22x18" bass drum uses a 60-degree bearing edge to produce depth, punch and focused low-end impact. Combined with the controlled response of SonicPly construction, these carefully selected edge profiles give the kit a cohesive voice with articulate toms and a powerful bass drum foundation.
Premium Vavona Craftsmanship and Collector's Series Design
The Vavona Collection showcases one of DW's most distinctive exotic veneers, with every shell displaying naturally unique figuring beneath its Burnt Toast Fade lacquer finish. Genuine Vavona gives each drum an individual appearance, while premium nickel hardware complements the warm color transitions and refined Custom Shop aesthetic. Combining this exceptional veneer with innovative SonicPly construction and flagship Collector's Series craftsmanship, the DW Collector's Series Vavona Exotic SonicPly 4-piece shell pack offers a distinctive blend of visual artistry, focused performance and professional versatility available exclusively through Guitar Center.
