In our current music scene, one of today’s most popular buzzwords seems to be “vintage.” Everyone seems to wants to capture the nostalgic tones and sounds of the mid-20th century. For drummers, finding a used set of drums that stood the test of time can be a challenge. DW Classics offers a solution that may be even better than the real thing. With a specially-configured Poplar-Mahogany shell with 10-ply Maple reinforcement hoops and a newly-designed “butter” bearing edge, DW Classics provide players with a true vintage sound in a modern custom-drum package. Offered in any Collector’s Series FinishPly and customizable with factory-installed options such as retro bass drum T-rods, 7771 bass drum-mounted cymbal arm and 770 rail mount, DW Classics give players a true authentic American drum sound.
Just like every other DW kit, Classics are made to order. Choose from a wide selection of durable Marine, Oyster or Glass FinishPly finishes to go retro, or select any of a number of other available colors and patterns. Chrome, Satin Chrome, Black Chrome or 24-Karat Gold can be ordered to complement any FinishPly choice. The best part is that DW Classics deliver an authentic Vintage drum sound in a roadworthy package. Compatible with all DW hardware and Factory Accessories, DW Classics include many of the modern conveniences that today’s drummers can’t live without, such as memory locks, True-Pitch tuning, STM (Suspension Tom Mounts), resonant floor toms legs, die-cast claw hooks, nylon washers and so much more. A DW Classics kit is the only completely custom vintage-style set on the market.
