Inspired by our new CS-MICRO, the customer who ordered this kit asked if it could be done in Mahogany. SURE! Keeping with the "as light as you can" vibe, this kit features 1.6mm hoops to keep everything light and open, as well our new CS-Bass Riser which is hand-made, commissioned from a local metal worker, and specially designed to fit just right on our CS-NANO and CS-MICRO sets. 6x10, 7x13, 8x16; vintage mahogany; satin wax.
Big - n - Low! That's what these folks wanted to back up the band. Boom! 8x13, 16x16, 16x18, 18x24; plied maple; satin wax.
When the other popular brands only offer bigger sizes of Tenors, but you really need a little one, look no further! Someone saw the first one in Black and wanted one in Swoosh Blue -- Slàinte Mhath! 10x12; plied maple; satin wax.
This beautiful snare features a Solid Bubinga Stave shell, Bordeaux dye, tube lugs, and a DW strainer. Nice! 5x14; solid stave bubinga; satin wax.
The "Middle Set" of concert toms (10"-12"-13"-14") just wasn't quiet enough for this client...so 12"-13"-14"-15" it is! Note the modification of the depth of the 12" to an inch deeper than normal to keep the depths all the same tidy 1" apart -- lovin' the details!! 10x12, 11x13, 12x14, 13x15; plied maple; satin wax.
The next in the series of SuperSmall drumsets you can pack in your pocket (almost), the new CS-NANO Blows You Away with it's bigger-than-it-looks sounds! The mounted nests into the floor, they both nest into the bass. That trio weighs only 16.9 lbs! Then use the 10" Unreal -- single-headed -- snare that's shown, or place your favorite 14" snare on top of the rest when you pack it all in your 14" floor tom case. Also new for this project is our custom CS-Bass Riser. It's hand-made, commissioned from a local metal worker, and specially designed to fit just right on our CS-NANO and CS-MICRO sets. 6x8, 7x11, 8x14, 3½x10; plied maple, satin wax.

When a great family at a neighboring city retired from 40 years of operating their drumstore, they offered me a couple of new 11x14 raw shells that they'd had for years, shells from DW to show folks how they make their tubes of wood. These demo shells, never to be re-acquired, were in perfect condition and needed to be made into instruments. The timing of their arrival was perfect to help debut our new Symphonic Snare series by showing that you can order these drums with options besides those seen in the Production Symphonic Snare series. This instrument features all the same specs as the Production Symphonic Snare series (this one with twenty Vintage Single Beavertail Lugs) showing off its fantastic 7-ply shell with re-rings. This shell composition features 7 plies of maple veneers with 3-ply maple reinforcing rings (whose final plies are beautifully flamey!). The 11" depth gets you a great Field Snare without chewing up so much space on the storage shelf, or can be tuned higher for a delicate instrument with fantastic body. 11x14; 7+3 DW shell; satin wax.
