This drum it's a whole DW in every rule. No detail has been neglected and so much the appearance as the sound is definitely DW. You know that DW only puts this name on high-end models
The Performance Series includes the lugs “low mass”, the exclusive plates of the series and excellent finishes.
Maple wood with DW HVX layer system and heads Remo, STM toms suspension system (Suspension Tom Mounts), Thunder PitchTM screws and 45o DW axis cut make this drum an authentic jewel. You can also add the pieces you want to configure the set to your taste.

We also wonder how DW can offer such a quality set to this price and we believe that one of the factors may be not offering too many finishing options or measurements because when the we submit to our own test bank, we are truly surprised. We are certainly in front of a highly professional set to a price very reasonable.

The shells
Performance Series offers new technology Shell designed by John Good and DW Custom Shell Shop in California. Combine the latest grain orientation technology the layers of the wood and the American Hard Rock Maple selected by hand shells Patented HVX the Performance Series offer a powerful sound, with a wide resonance and projection that the make it especially suitable for directs.

Once the Shell is baked at pressure, removed from the oven and placed in a pressurized heel to ensure that the glue instantly crystallizes and Shell harden to form a perfect cylinderThe proof of this process you will have it when you like it!
The toms Performance Series of 8" have a 7-layer HVX construction, the snare drums have 10-layer HVX, and 10" to 16" toms, together with all bass drums, they have an 8-layer HVX construction.

Hoops
The Series Performance has hoops Triple Flanged graduates so that each measure has hoop more appropriate and versatile. These hoops steel comes in graduated weights (1.6 mm for 8 and 10" toms, 2.3 mm for 12-18 toms and 3.0 mm for snare drum).

Suspension System
The DW STM TM (Suspension Tom Mounts) suspension mounting system allows the toms to vibrate freely, allowing maximum resonance and keeping the tom in place safely. Because there are no washers that inhibit the receiver the rod, the obstruction is reduced and the tuning is easier than ever.

Bordon system
Performance Series comes with the MAGTM system finished in chrome. A simple design, the MAG is a real battle horse with fit tension horizontal and smooth and easy to fit action. Receive your name from an ingenious magnet that is integrated into the body. When the lever is in the position upwards, it will not be released without a slight pull. When released, release the system completely out to avoid any buzzing. Ingenious and simple!

True Pitch Screw
To give you even more control over your sound, DW created its patented True-Pitch tuning screw system. These screws have 5 mm threads instead of 12/24 which is standard in the most of the other brands. In comparison, there is 1 thread every 0.8 mm in these screws (approximately 20% more threads), compared to 1 thread every 1.05 mm in the most of the other standard screws. The result is a more precise tuning process.

The snare drums come with the Coated Control Sound (with tuning sequence numbering) and heads resonants transparent.
