DW is the first (and only) drum maker to actually exceed my expectations. I used to think that Yamaha Stage Customs were the bang-for-the-buck champion but in my opinion that title now goes to the DW Design Series.
Here are just a few things I like about DW in general and the Designs in particular:
Here are just a few things I like about DW in general and the Designs in particular:
- I like that DW includes a nice box of spare tension rods with its kits.
- I like that kick drum pillows are included with new kits.
- I like that DW drums are incredibly easy to tune and that they hold their tuning for ages thanks to the True Pitch tension rods
- I like the graduated hoops that come with the Design and Performance Series kits.
- I like the STM mounting system and the fact that even the "budget" Design Series uses it.
- I like the MAG throw-off more than any other I've ever used. The 3-Position butt plate is clever and useful too.
