The PDP by DW Concept Classic Bop shell pack delivers vintage-inspired tone and modern responsiveness in a compact, professional-ready configuration. Built from all-maple shells with carefully shaped 45° bearing edges, this 3-piece kit produces a warm, open sound with clear attack and musical sustain. Praised by working drummers for its pure tonality and crisp articulation, the Concept Classic Bop responds dynamically across a wide range of styles—from classic rock and blues to indie, alternative and country—while maintaining balance and control at any volume.

All-Maple Shell Construction for Balanced Tone and Projection

At the core of the Concept Classic Bop’s sound are its European maple shells, constructed with a mix of 6- and 7-ply designs to balance resonance, strength and tonal focus. Maple’s natural warmth and clarity deliver a full-bodied low end, open mids and smooth highs that translate evenly across the kit. Combined with precision-cut bearing edges, the shells speak easily and tune quickly, offering a responsive feel that captures subtle dynamics while retaining punch and projection when played harder.

Studio- and Stage-Ready Feel

This shell pack includes a 13x9" rack tom, a 16x16" floor tom with legs and a responsive 20x14" bass drum, creating a compact setup that emphasizes articulation, control and musical cohesion. The smaller bass drum provides fast response and tight definition ideal for bop-style playing and recording, while still delivering enough depth for modern grooves. Whether you’re tracking in the studio, playing club gigs or building a space-efficient everyday kit, the PDP Concept Classic Bop shell pack delivers classic character, modern versatility and dependable performance.
