How Drums Are Made by DW | Home of Drums

[@adventurellama7444]

I bought a DW kit in 2001 and it was a pice of art. Hardly ever had to tune them even being on the road. Unfortunately I had to sell them when my daughter was born. Just bought a set of Yamaha stage customs and I think they sound warmer compared to the 3k DWs. DW is still in my heart as one of the best sounding and quality made drums. Recording custom or DW collector’s series are in a league of their own.

[@kyrsid]

well, that says a lot about DW drums 🙂

Really makes me appreciate how noble & Cooley make their drums, however I will give dw kudos for making them in the USA.

[@benmollitor3776]

When I first brought my dw kit home I was afraid to set it up because I didn't want it to get scratched or something since it's so nice .. lol.

[@joesmith7509]

Drums are beautiful...

[@patton303]

I’ve had a few DW kits. I appreciate the craftsmanship and quality of the build. Incredible drums. But I never could find my sound with DW. It’s similar to how guitar players prefer say, a Strat over a Les Paul. There’s just a denseness to DW drums that doesn’t work for me. I prefer a lighter and quicker response. It takes a lot of effort to pull sound out of DW’s and my hands got destroyed when I played them. So Tama Starclassic it is for me.

[@lukabilesic7238]

Amazing!

[@jaycekeffer]

I have always wanted a dw kit but I went with the mapex saturn and I love it. the soniclear bearing edge is great

[@RtaniDean]

Those mapex Saturn drums are great drums. Agreed. We checked out over 100 kits at same time. The Saturns finished # 2 for me out of 100 I Could have gone # 1, but they got 2 b/c they are sonically just a tad quieter, but in a colorful wood resonance minute way. The shell concepts are great imho. Drum on. D

[@christianhodgson5201]

i wanna work there

[@JP-jm9fy]

I could only dream of owning a completely custom DW kit. Maybe one day.

[@THEATREofPAIN270]

It's good to dream. Perhaps some day you'll have that very expensive kit. Good luck 🤘

[@JP-jm9fy]

@@THEATREofPAIN270 I think at this point I would be fine with a good DW kit that’s versatile for both studio and concert use. It don’t have to be full on custom. Although I could agree that it would be like the ultimate in super cool but not necessary. No a good DW kit that sounds good and is versatile is just fine. I think that would be on the more affordable side for me. I’ve seen them go for anywhere from around 900 bucks for a used kit but still in decent condition to around 3500 for a new one and up to 10 to 14 thousand. If I could get a nice looking DW, maybe on the slightly used spectrum, for around 2000 or maybe less I’d be happy. I agree with you though it’s still good to dream.

[@ronaldgenendlis6423]

Love the process. Love the colors and many options they have and they sound amazing but for me this is just preference I’m not a fan of the round lugs. Everything else is perfect. I really do wish one company I can’t mention which are my favorite drums. Would offer the finest of finishes and options dw has to offer. But what a great company video here and there products.

[@briandrum1]

I love watching videos on anything drums, including how they’re made (check out the Noble and Cooley videos!!). That said, DW drums sound GREAT….if you want drums that sound like cardboard boxes 😂

[@echohawk9579]

Psst DW drums own your avatar.

[@briandrum1]

@@echohawk9579 Yea, nope

[@PowerTom_kyle]

From the time wood is taken off the shelves and placed into the molds, until they are wrapped and packed, how long does this process take for a standard 5 piece? A Week? A month? 5 months? Just curious as to the length of time a build takes.

[@minisurfbanana]

Looking at DW Performance Series Diamond Nebula or Gold Sparkle? 🤔🤔🤔

[@kevinb8527]

Man I have had 2 DW Kits (Custom and Performance Series). My favorite by far is my Performance kit. I love the straight shells (no reinforcement rings) and the smaller lugs. They just sound huge and stay in tune. Great kit.

[@offenesauge]

Wonderful artisanal work. I’m wondering, if they consider to make a beech drum some day.

[@shawngrenaud]

Of course anyone who shells out this kind of money is going to swear by the sound superiority of various woods and adhesives. It's human nature. Top quality heads, knowing how to tune and properly functioning hardware will get you where you want to go. The real eye-opener, ironically is blind testing. But high end drum shells are definitely aesthetically superior. Like jewelry.

[@davidmcaninch4714]

I love my DW Design Series kit. It’s in a Midnight Blue Satin finish. The toms are smaller than what I used to play, but I actually like the smaller toms better because, for me, they’re easier to tune.

[@larrytate1657]

It’s thanks to DW that all manufacturers have raised their prices on their high end kits. They said our kits sound as good sometimes better we are going to charge that too than. Thanks DW.

[@warrenoids]

Because customization. Take a look at the performance series. They're cheaper because there is no custom options.

[@jareddoran6605]

DW charges a lot not only because of customization, but also because of the high labor costs and business taxes in the USA, and even more so in California, where DW is. Meanwhile, brands like Sonor and Pearl charge more than DW, and neither of them have to compensate for extremely high labor costs and taxes, because neither of them are from the US; yet nobody bats an eye. Hating on DW has become more of a trend than DW themselves.

[@carlosdiaz5486]

@@jareddoran6605 thats facts. Labor costs here in the USA vs literally anywhere else would be higher lol. The reason the design is super cheap for DW is because they make them in Taiwan. Imagine if the Performance and Collectors series were made there, too... you could drop a third of the price tag. Its insane

[@ryanspeed4671]

@@jareddoran6605 Its too comical the haterization towards DW. You're right Sonor is equally expensive and I've never heard anyone say they're to expensive or overpriced. I will continue to enjoy my DW kit proudly without having to bash another brand. 😊

They knew him personally. I think they can pronounce his name correctly if he was a personal friend.

[@HandbrakeBiscuit]

@@JakeStaffin Hi Jake - it's P-ear-t, not 'Pert'. There's at least one video of Geddy and Alex saying how to pronounce it, and I dimly remember that Neil says how to pronounce it himself in the video where Jason Segal and Paul Rudd meet Rush (I haven't checked if that's where it was). It's an interesting thought though - are they right because they are his friends, or are they not really his friends because they couldn't even bother to get his name right?

DW is overrated! Their drums are good, but they took partly old ideas and stuff and modernized a little. Sonor the other US Companies and the Japanese as well are as good as DW. Good to me seemed arrogant whilst talking trash.

@@benboyd3082 in the 80s I took my Tama Superstar with brand new heads and my set of Zildjians to a studio gig. The engineer rejected it immediately and I have to use an old rogers dampend down to a cardbox like sound. In the final mix it sounded great. We can discuss the acounstic o drums and cymbals for hours on end. Look for the vibrational nodes of drumheads an d cymbals as well as drumshells. I used to check drums in the same room with the known acoustic and never miked. As I started in ca. 1964 my first test is always with Amb. coated on top and diplomat as bottom.
