DW Performance Series 5-Piece Shell Pack Black Diamond Finish with Chrome Hardware

The DW Performance Series 5-Piece Shell Pack combines high-quality components with thoughtful design for drummers seeking robust tone and reliability on stage. Its 100 percent North American maple HVX shells feature an advanced grain orientation for balanced frequency response, warmth and sustain. With 45-degree bearing edges and Suspension Tom Mounts, the shells resonate freely while maintaining precise tuning and stability through the most demanding performances. 10" and 12" rack toms, a 16" floor tom, 22" kick drum, and 14" snare drum round out this extraordinary kit.

HVX Shells Provide a Solid Foundation

At the heart of this DW kit are eight-ply HVX shells, handcrafted in DW's California custom shop. Their unique ply configuration and grain orientation produce a fat, punchy tone with outstanding projection. The kick and snare shells use an even more robust 10-ply construction for maximum low-end and sensitivity. Overall, the HVX shells give this kit a voice that cuts through on stage while maintaining nuance and warmth.

Suspension Mounts Enhance Sustain and Stability

DW's Suspension Tom Mounts attach each drum without restricting shell resonance. The suspension mounts isolate the drums from each other, allowing their tones to develop fully and preventing unwanted overtones from other drums. Your rack toms will sing with sustain and remain precisely tuned through hours of playing.

Premium Chrome Hardware Provides Solid Support

From the quarter-turret lugs to the low-mass claw hooks, every piece of hardware on this kit is built for performance. The chrome components are lightweight yet durable, with a streamlined design that avoids impeding shell resonance. Together, the advanced shells and premium hardware give this DW kit a focused, powerful voice ready to cut through on stage.

A Style for Any Setup

Available in satin, lacquer and veneer finishes, the Performance Series Shell Pack has an option to suit any musical style or venue. The satin oil finish provides a natural look that lets the wood grain show through, while the lacquer and veneer options offer glossy, colorful designs. With its versatile tones and range of visual styles, this kit is at home in any live or studio setting.
