50th Anniversary Limited Edition Drum Set
Drum Workshop, Inc. (DW) announced the launch of its Limited-Edition Collector’s Series 50th Anniversary drum set.
Inspired by John Good’s memories of growing up in Northern Italy, the DW Collector’s Series 50th Anniversary Limited Edition 6-Piece Drum Set features a core of persimmon, a hard tone wood similar to purpleheart that produces thick attack and projection, combined with spruce that boosts warmth and tonality. These 10 PLY HVLT shells, handcrafted in DW’s California custom shop, feature a stunning outer veneer of rare, quilted maple, inlaid with a rosewood and maple 50th Anniversary badge and band. The drums are finished in a burnt toast burst lacquer and fitted with antique gold hardware, True-Hoops, True-Pitch 50 Tuning, S.T.M (Suspension Tom Mounts), and DW drumheads by Remo USA.
This pre-configured shell pack includes 8 x 10-inch and 9 x 12-inch mounted toms, 12 x 14-inch and 14 x 16-inch floor toms, an 18 x 22-inch kick drum, complemented with a 6.5 x 14-inch matching 10-ply hybrid persimmon-spruce HVLT shell snare, fitted with DW Mag Throw-off.
Only 100 of these kits will be produced, and each includes a certificate of authenticity signed by DW founders Don Lombardi and John Good. In addition, a further 200 à la carte 6.5 x 14-inch anniversary snare drums will be made for those adding to their snare collections.
