A Sound For Every Style of Music

Sure, DW Jazz Series drums are perfect for Jazz, but they’re also exceptional for just about every other style of music that demands a warm, organic tone with plenty of earthy nuance. The fact is, the very same maple-gum shell configuration that was prized in the late ‘60s, ‘70s and early ‘80s for its inherent sound qualities in the studio is the same thing that makes these drums great for rock, pop, fusion or just about any other style of music you play.

The reason for such versatility is due in part to a wide, drummer-friendly tuning range. It’s easy to go from higher Bebop-style tunings that are also great for funk or hip-hop to low, beefy rock tunings that satisfy sparse singer/songwriter tracks or alternative collage radio-esque songs. Just like all DW Collector’s Series kits, these shells are also Timbre Matched® for optimal tuning compatibility.

Best of all, with the latest trends in ambient miking, you’ll hear every note because DW Jazz Drums are dry and sensitive. The combination of a slightly rounder bearing edge, die-cast counter hoops, STM (Suspension Tom Mounts) and coated DW heads give these drums just the right amount of clarity, attack and body.

So even though their namesake would suggest otherwise, don’t consider these drums a onetrick pony; they’re everything you love about your favorite studio kit and so much more. DW Jazz Drums® provide drummers with yet another authentic sound; one that completes the history of American drum making.
