PDP By DW 5-Piece Concept Maple Shell Pack with Chrome Hardware Natural
What if boutique-inspired drums loaded with pro-features were more affordable? What if drummers could get a wide variety of our most popular Custom Shop sizes and colors without breaking the bank? We’re proud to introduce a new concept, a completely re-imagined line of PDP drums designed for every drummer. It’s called the Concept Series and it has a fresh new look and a sound that already has drummers talking. Choose from Concept Maple or Concept Birch shells in a myriad of today’s most popular configurations. Then, add toms or bass drums to build custom-style kits to suit just about every musical style. Add to that, high-end features like STM (Suspension Tom Mounts), True Pitch tension rods, MAG throw-off, die cast low-mass claw hooks, proportionate counter hoops and durable lacquer finishes, and you have a kit that unquestionably lives up to its DW roots. Concept Series is a new line of PDP drums that are available in both all-maple or all-birch shells. All shells are 7-ply, except for the snare which is 10-ply. Through our research with the DW Custom Shop, we have found some particular detail features that have a big effect on sound and quality. We believe every drummer deserves these features, so we included DW-style STM mounting systems, True Pitch trade; tuning, F.A.S.T. tom sizing, proportional counter hoop sizing*, and Remo drum heads. Snare drums come with the DW MAG throw-off and boutique-style copper wires. Bass drums come with die-cast claw hooks, and all drums feature the new retro-inspired dual-turret tube lug.

Great drum set but serious problems with snare assembly This set was packaged well and arrived in great shape. After unboxing I assembled the bass drum and tuned the toms and I am very happy with the sound. The included bass drum pillow is pretty crappy but since I didn’t even realize it came with one I had already purchased one separately so no big deal. This is where it gets interesting, the last drum I pulled out was the snare, I had not paid much attention to it since it was already fully assembled and I figured I could just use it as is, but I…
DW sound, PDP price The sound of this kit is excellent. One of my mentors had a PDP set I used to play on and I’ve always wanted one for myself. Sounds just like I remember. I replaced the snare drum with a smaller one from PDP I already had because I prefer a higher, snappy sound, but the included snare is okay. The tom mount is great because it has an extra mount slot. I used it for a splash (see photos). I love the black hardware, however, it collects dust like nobody’s business. The Mapex Armory black series…
