The DW Performance Series offers hand-built HVX maple shells crafted in the same California plant and by the same skilled artisans behind DW's iconic Collector's Series. Engineered for players seeking authentic DW sound at a real-world price, this 4-piece shell pack combines high-quality construction, modern hardware, and a sleek Charcoal Metallic finish.

Using DW’s HVX maple shells, the Performance Series maximizes tonal depth and projection. The toms feature 45° bearing edges for crisp attack, while the bass drum has 60° edges for deep, resonant low end. Reduced-size Quarter Turret lugs, STM Suspension tom mounts, and True-Pitch tension rods ensure superior tuning accuracy and ease of setup. Graduated counter hoops, tailored to each shell size, provide a dynamic balance of attack and sustain, making this shell pack versatile for a wide range of musical styles.
