Pure maple, authentic tone.

Every DWe shell is constructed of 9-ply Pure North American Hard Rock maple in a patented 333™ shell configuration. With a true bearing edge on each drum and a mylar resonant head, DWe drums produce a subtle, low volume tone for the player to hear the pitch of the shell. And each shell is easily converted to a true acoustic DW drum that delivers everything you expect from DW Drums and more.

DWe is designed and manufactured in the DW Drums factory in California. Leveraging 5 decades of American made craftsmanship and innovation, DWe delivers the same premium quality you expect from Drum Workshop.

A Platform For Creativity

At DW Drums, we believe that music is a constantly evolving art form, and we are committed to being at the forefront of that evolution.

Since day 1, staying authentic and delivering innovative solutions for drummers has been core to who we are.

This belief is part of our DNA and that's why we are excited to introduce our latest innovation in acoustic-electronic convertible drums, which are authentically unique in the way they are made and engineered with pure craftsmanship, while also being truly original in how they inspire artists to create music.

DWe was designed to open up a world of new possibilities for drummers. We believe electronic drums should add to your playing experience, going far beyond a simple replica of an acoustic drum in electronic format. And we have worked tirelessly to develop features that enable musicians to expand their creativity.

No wires, no problem.

DWe introduces a new era of wireless electronic drums. Using a proprietary wireless technology, your drums are ready to play straight out of the box with no wires or cables required. Simply sit down and play to connect your drums to your included wireless hub that connects to your computer or audio interface. Set up and tear down has never been easier.

Versatility comes standard.

You've never played electronic drums like this. DWe can be played as a pure maple acoustic drum set, or as a completely wireless electronic kit. All components come standard to easily convert the kit from acoustic to electronic. The same set can go from practicing in your bedroom to playing live on the world’s biggest stages. Create amazing new possibilities in the studio, and with creating your own content.

No comparison, No compromise.

DWe are the only drums that deliver the unique combination of true authentic DW acoustic drums coupled with premium wireless electronics and sounds for a solution that stands in a category by itself.

Sound your best in any situation.

The world’s most respected drummers have made DW Drums The Drummer’s Choice™ because they value the quality, craftsmanship and sound created with each drum DW produces. Every sound in the DW Soundworks library has been recorded and sampled to deliver the most acoustically accurate drum sounds on the market so you can play with confidence.

DWe Cymbal Features

DWe Cymbals feature wireless technology and all metal playing surfaces to deliver natural feel and playability.

Innovation Comes Standard.

DWe introduces drummers to an entirely new creative canvas designed to inspire unique forms of creative expression and artistry. We have always believed that if you give an artist a new tool, that artist will create like never before.

Combining the versatility of acoustic and electronic drums will enable you, the drummer, to elevate your craft and be the most dynamic, creative player you can be.

Premium sounds, an intuitive playing experience, and the incredible versatility of convertible wireless drums deliver unlimited opportunities to make your sound your own.

By easily converting your drums from acoustic to electronic, and back to acoustic – or creating a hybrid kit of acoustic drums mixed with electronic drums – you will have access to an expanded toolkit for your playing. DWe allows you to fine tune your sound without compromising feel, playability, sound quality, or stage presence.

Reinvented from the sound up.

DWe leverages an innovative wireless trigger solution that enables up to 10 zones and 16 velocities per drum, giving the player a truly authentic range of dynamics for their playing. And using DW Soundworks advance trigger setting editing, you can define up to 18 layers of multi-articulation per instrument.
