Product Overview
Inspired by John Good's memories of growing up in Northern Italy, the DW Collector's Series 50th Anniversary Limited Edition 6-Piece Shell Pack matches persimmon and spruce, two of the woods that stimulated his lifelong passion of crafting the perfect sound. The drums are a constructed from a combination of persimmon, a hard tone wood similar to purpleheart that produces thick attack and projection, combined with spruce that boosts warmth and tonality. Hardware and cymbals sold separately.
These HVLT shells are handcrafted in our California custom shop, featuring a veneer of rare, quilted maple and fitted with inlaid maple and rosewood 50th Anniversary badges and bands. These drums are finished in a burnt toast burst lacquer and equipped with antique gold hardware.
