Acrylic drums are known for their striking look and cutting attack, but not every kit delivers the balance and control players expect. The PDP by DW Concept Acrylic 4-piece drum shell pack is designed to bring clarity, consistency and musical response to an acrylic setup, making it a practical choice for both stage and studio use. This compact configuration includes a 16x22" bass drum, 7x10" and 8x12" rack toms and a 16x16" floor tom, all built from seamless acrylic shells with matching acrylic hoops for uniform construction across the kit. The result is a bright, focused tone with controlled sustain, paired with even shell vibration that supports clear articulation and reliable tuning. Factory-installed Remo drum heads and True-Pitch tension rods complete the package, providing a familiar feel and dependable performance right out of the box.
Seamless Acrylic Shell Construction
The Concept Acrylic shell pack is built around seamless acrylic shells designed to promote uniform vibration and consistent response from drum to drum. Acrylic is valued for its immediate attack and focused projection, making it especially effective in live settings where definition and presence matter. The seamless construction helps each shell resonate evenly, reducing unwanted inconsistencies and supporting clear articulation at lower dynamics while maintaining control when played with greater force. This balanced response allows the kit to adapt comfortably to a wide range of playing styles, from controlled studio work to higher-energy performances. Visually, the translucent acrylic shells create a cohesive, modern aesthetic that remains consistent across the entire kit.
Acrylic Hoops and Tom Mounting System
Each drum is fitted with seamless acrylic hoops—1" hoops on the toms and 2" hoops on the bass drum—to help shape attack and manage overtones without dulling the kit’s natural clarity. The added mass of the hoops contributes to a controlled decay and a consistent rim response, supporting both tuning stability and dynamic control. Mounted toms are suspended using PDP’s STM suspension mounting system, which minimizes shell contact by isolating the drum from excess hardware pressure. This design allows the toms to resonate more freely while remaining securely positioned, supporting sustain, tuning consistency and dependable performance in both live and studio environments. For drummers seeking the visual impact of acrylic with a balanced, controlled feel, the Concept Acrylic 4-piece shell pack offers a confident foundation for a wide range of musical settings.
