The Smoke Glass Contrails finish and gold hardware on this 7-piece DW Collector’s Series SSC Maple Shell Pack look so good that you almost won’t want to play it! Fortunately, in typical DW fashion, it sounds just as good. The SSC Maple shells have been selected and crafted by DW’s master artisans to ensure that each shell reaches its full tonal potential and that the drums play together as a cohesive musical instrument. The 18- x 22-inch kick drum and the 7- x 14-inch snare are slightly deeper than standard, resulting in a deep and solid backbeat. However, the toms and floor toms are slightly shallower than standard toms, so they’ll sing loud and clear. Played together, this kit has a tonal range and elegant appearance that Sweetwater drummers have likened to playing an exquisite grand piano in drum set form.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


SSC shells for a unified sound





It’s a subtle detail, but the grain orientation of a drum significantly affects its fundamental pitch and overall tone. DW offers a variety of grain orientations, including VLT, HVLT, VLX, and X. Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC), on the other hand, means that DW selects the best type of shell construction for each drum size in the Collector’s Series Exotic shell pack. This not only keeps things simple for the user, but DW’s expertise ensures that the overall kit also plays like one single harmonious instrument.
