DW Performance Series 6.5x14 Snare Drum - Ebony Stain
Item: DWDRPL6514SSES
The new Performance series features a proprietary drum shell called HVX, referring to its grain orientation made up of
horizontal, vertical and diagonal plies. The 8-ply all-maple shells, made from hand-selected North American
Hard Rock Maple, are said to provide a low-mid frequency range with plenty of punch, articulation and
are perfect for a wide variety of musical applications. Drum Workshop executive Vice President and Drum
Designer, John Good, explains, “We really wanted this kit to sing, and at the same time, have a sound all its
own. This shell wouldn’t have been possible without the past several years of research and development
under our belts. Shon Smith, from our custom shell shop, and I really worked hard to change the way that
drums have been made for decades. This new technology allows drummers to really get into the subtleties
of the instrument in terms of tuning range. These new Performance Series drums are no one-trick-pony, they
can do it all.”
