The PDP by DW Encore 5-piece drum kit provides an affordable, high-quality option for aspiring drummers. Its poplar shells deliver a balanced, resonant tone that projects well in any venue. The kit includes everything you need to start playing right away, from double-braced hardware to brass cymbals.

Poplar Shells Provide Solid Foundation

At the heart of any great drum kit are the shells, and the Encore kit features poplar shells known for their warm, rich tone. The 5-piece shell pack includes a 22" bass drum, along with 10" and 12" rack toms, and a 16" floor tom. It also comes with a 14" snare drum, providing a solid tonal foundation for any playing style. The multi-ply shells are durable yet lightweight, with True-Pitch tension rods that make head changes and tuning quick and easy.

Complete Hardware and Cymbal Package

The Encore kit includes not just drums, but everything else you need to start playing as well. It comes with a drum throne, bass drum pedal, hi-hat stand, snare stand and cymbal stand. The double-braced hardware provides stability for energetic playing. It also includes a starter set of brass cymbals—a crash, ride and pair of hi-hats—so you have a fully functional drum set right out of the box.
