The DW Drums DWe Wireless Acoustic-Electronic Convertible Kit is a groundbreaking instrument that elevates a drummer’s sonic possibilities while maintaining the natural feel of traditional drums. Built just like a DW Collector’s Series acoustic kit, when set to electronic mode, the DWe incorporates wireless triggers-no cables at this groove party-to access an incredible drum-sample library and powerful production tools via DW’s Soundworks software.
"Once again, DW has changed the game,” says R&B and gospel drum icon, producer and music director Gerald Heyward (Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Missy Elliot). “I plan to implement the DWe into what I do making records and playing stage shows.”
With metal (not rubber) cymbals, a “virtual” snare throw off, real DW drum hardware (no rack), stress-free ease of use and the ability to convert from electronics to 100-percent acoustic sounds and playability, the DW Drums DWe could be that rare beast that inspires and satisfies every player, every musical situation and every creative direction. There’s nothing like it.

I've had one on order for over 1.5 months. Come on DW!!! I need my DWe drums!!

[@israelgonzaga2831]

SAME. my sweetwater rep told me that DW is going to send it to them by the end of this month :/

[@weddingsbyhamilton]

Got my cymbals from Kraft

[@israelgonzaga2831]

@@weddingsbyhamilton what bundle did you get?

[@jzu907]

same ive been waiting about 2ish months and they still dont have my cymbals yet which is the only thing ive been waiting for for a while now :/ been super excited and they are taking foreeeever but i guess thats to be expected with such a new product and a high end one at that

[@eDrumsandVSTs]

Ive been waiting, too! Oh wait a second, I didnt pay them anything -- maybe thats why they havent sent mine yet... ;)

[@jeff_towers]

This kit is mind blowing!!!! The only slightly down sides is the cymbals the impact is loud

[@DrumHood]

Once again "Roland" changes the game.

[@costageoref3309]

The drum trigger on the toms is right in the middle, when you hit it,it cuts out, this does not happen on the VAD 706 Roland 50X!

[@eDrumsandVSTs]

Gorgeous kit and great idea. they are still working out the software, probably, so thats probably why you heard the machine gunning on he hihat. With that being said, I'd still be going for a high end Roland or Efnote and saving the difference. But, this is a tremendous step and a huge release for the industry.

[@peekaboo4390]

Game changing kit and I'm a bass player.

[@anotheryoutubed]

get your ears checked

[@peekaboo4390]

@@anotheryoutubed what?

[@rasakiayodele7479]

@@anotheryoutubed You can use it to trigger Superior Drummer 3. The sounds aren't main issue for me though. It's that you have to pay for the most expensive acoustic kit they sell in order to get electronic drums. I already have an acoustic kit, and if I were to buy another, this wouldn't be it.

[@matthewcurtis4083]

I’ve wanted one just like this for years.

[@listener84]

Ain’t no escaping that machine gunning hi hat at 1:42 tho

[@andrums93]

the only thing is wireless in my country . Maybe not for now. I will continue with cables. Thank You DW but I will maybe wait a bit longer for this one.

[@Itsme3dd]

I want that drumset

[@Bobby8451]

Dude! If only I could get my wife to give the ok. Not going to happen for awhile. Lol

[@MrJimbodian]

Can you use them with Superior Drummer software?

[@eDrumsandVSTs]

Yes, it still can output MIDI data and thats all you need!

[@laiftaim]

That cymbals like... cheap brass starter set. You can make the surface more luxurious than that, right?

[@listener84]

Sorry, EFNOTE is smoking this kit in the field and a way better price

[@ChrisBonneau]

Heck yeah! Those EFNote drums are something serious!!!

[@JoeyDeNoble-po1fi]

I still see and hear when certain cymbals are hit, the area the cymbal is being hit is not the natural sound, but an over hit “opened” sound. That would annoy me to no end….does anyone else hear that at time marker 1:00

[@ladanzza]

Cymbals noisy, hihat not accurate, snare rimshot noisy, the library still sound a gun-machine, just the good here to me is that is wireless, good luck as engineer if the drummer wants to tour with something with just 2 outputs, another thing that is a fake argument is you can convert in DW collector? No this is by far a performance, collectors comes with true hoop.

[@JesusLordOfLords455]

Nothing game changing here, ATV all the way 🎉

[@sampilsbury9415]

Sounds are average at best. Efnote still winning. I have a Roland and that’s better too.

[@educapro]

Wow....super game changer. Kudos DW!!! Now watch all the copy cats follow 😂🤯🤔

[@jamessullenriot]

When the patents for their brand of wireless expires, "copy cats" will bring the prices down, not sure why that is a problem

[@listener84]

DW are the copycats, they bought Versatrigger wireless drums and integrated. Still a pretty cool kit but is only great to those who don’t really know about edrums. Even Hayward doesn’t know what he’s talking about, though he’s a great player
