DW Performance Series 22″ 4pc Drumset With 14×5.5 Snare And Hardware

The Performance Series begins with DW’s US-built, handcrafted HVX hard rock North American maple shells. The HVX grain orientation arranges wood plies horizontally, vertically, and diagonally for a deep and satisfying fundamental. Shells are baked in pressure molds (2600 PSI at 200°F) then immediately Cool Tempered to crystallise the glue, maximising strength, roundness, and resonance. Toms come crowned with pinpoint 45° back-cut bearing edges to enhance attack and increase head response; the kick drum features 60° edges for richer depth and effortless playability.

Unique to the Performance Series are DW’s reduced-size Quarter Turret lugs. These offer a decidedly sleeker, more modern appearance that many DW artists prefer. A closer look reveals much of the same hardware found throughout the DW’s Collector’s Series:

• Graduated Counter Hoops, weighted per each shell size, unlock a dynamic balance of attack and sustain
• Washer-less STM Suspension Tom Mounts float toms securely without choking tone
• Fine-threaded True-Pitch tension rods maximise tuning accuracy
