DWe Shell Pack w/V51 Module, 4-Piece

Authentic DW Pure Maple Shell Construction

DWe e33 Series™ shells are handcrafted from 100% North American Hard Rock Maple. These drums are built with DW’s patented 333 technique, which features Maple plies with grains oriented in horizontal and vertical patterns to deliver low, punchy fundamentals.

Acoustic-Electronic Convertible

DWe Drums feature authentic acoustic shells that can be converted from electronic by simply removing the DWe trigger star plates with drum key screws and changing the batter side drum heads from mesh to the included mylar heads.

Batter Heads

DWe is delivered with mesh batter heads installed for electronic use, as well as mylar batter heads for conversion to acoustic.  8-12" drums come installed with 2-ply mesh heads and 14"-16" drums feature 3-ply mesh heads featuring patented Roland technology from the Power Ply series. 20"-22" woven mesh heads from Remo USA included for Bass Drum batter side.  The included 8"-16" tom mylar heads are single-ply coated clear DW Heads made by Remo USA, and a DW Heads 14" coated snare batter made by Remo USA is also included.

Counter Hoops

DWe drums are fitted with Chrome, graduated triple-flange hoops to give your drums great tonal versatility. These hoops feature graduated weights (1.6mm for 8 and 10" toms, 2.3mm for 12-16" toms, and 3mm for snares).

STM™ - Suspension Tom Mounts

DW’s Patented STM™ (Suspension Tom Mount) system allows shells maximum resonance while securing the toms in place. No washers or grommets contact the lug rod receivers, so choking is reduced, and tuning is as easy as ever.

Tom Legs

e33™  Series® resonant floor tom legs are 1/2" in diameter, 21" in length, and fabricated in chrome-plated steel.

Made in the U.S.A.

All DWe e33 Series™ drums are designed and manufactured in Oxnard, California, USA

Proprietary Wireless Technology

DWe features a proprietary wireless protocol called DrumLink™ which is based on 2.4GHz and is designed exclusively for drums. With its unique ability of only sending small micro packets of data at a time the DrumLink wireless protocol avoids any impact from RF interference.

5 Zone Snare Drum

DWe snare features 5 zones for an expressive playing experience. Additionally, by disengaging the digiMag™ throw-off the snare drum has the ability to switch between 10 sounds - 5 sounds with the throw-off engaged and 5 with the throw-off disengaged.

digiMag™ Snare Throw-Off

The digiMag™ snare throw-off allows you to change the sound of the drum with a flip of the throw-off. With 5 sounds per drum, disengaging the throw-off engages five additional sounds for your snare.

Pressure-Sensing Cross-Stick Detection

Play cross-stick naturally with pressure-sensing cross-stick capabilities on your snare drum.

Pressure-Sensitive Pitch Bend

With pressure-sensitive pitch bend on your toms, you can change the pitch of a drum by simply applying pressure to the mesh head.

Hand Dampening Toms

Dampen the resonance of your toms naturally by using your hand on your mesh heads.

Universal Midi Controller

Your DWe kit is compatible with music production software that supports AAX, AU, and VST plug-in formats and functions as a wireless MIDI controller.

Module Compatibility

Easily connect the DrumLink™ wireless hub to a any drum module that has a standard MIDI in input to use your drums as a MIDI controller for any module.

Battery Life

All DWe drums are powered by AA batteries (included) with a battery life of up to one year (depending on frequency of play).

Wireless Speed

Total system latency is measured under 8ms, which is comparable to high-end module-based solutions in the market. Latency is heavily dependent on computer performance.

DWe's proprietary wireless transmission via the DrumLink Hub doesn't add any latency to the drum and cymbal triggers and performs at the same speed as a wired cable.

Trigger Technology

DWe drum and cymbal triggers include a combination of pressure-sensitive FSRs and piezos, providing natural dynamics and playability.

Pitch Bend

With pressure sensitive pitch bend on your toms, you can change the pitch of a drum by simply applying pressure to the mesh head.

Positional Sensing

Snare triggering features positional sensing from the center of the drum to the edge of the drum head providing broad dynamic range and authentic response.
