Drum kit with birch shells and HVX construction
This Drum Workshop Performance Birch Limited is a drum kit in shell set format, built around a 22 x 18 bass drum, 10 x 8 and 12 x 9 toms, and a 16 x 14 floor tom in Natural. You receive the shells only; stands, snare drum, cymbals, and drum throne are not included.
The Performance Series Birch shells are handcrafted in Oxnard, California, from 100% birch veneer using DW’s patented HVX™ technique. The grain runs horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, which according to DW contributes to low, powerful fundamental tones.
Attack, resonance, and clear response
Birch gives this DW shell pack a strong attack and tight resonance. That makes the Performance Birch Limited a strong option for drummers looking for a direct response, especially in the studio where birch shells have long been a favorite.
The bearing edges are precisely cut with 45-degree edges on the toms and 60-degree edges on bass drum and snare-type applications. In practice, that gives the toms tonal clarity and sustain, while the bass drum gains extra depth and punch.
Handcrafted Drum Workshop Performance Birch Limited
This Drum Workshop shell set comes from the California Custom Shop and suits drummers looking for custom-quality construction in a fixed configuration. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from musicians who understand what shell set setup and tuning involve.
You end up with a DW drum set built around a powerful, tight foundation for rehearsals, recording, and live use, with a compact tom layout around the 22-inch bass drum.
