DW Custom Shop finishes are only limited by your imagination; the possibilities are virtually endless. For example, just about any lacquer color can be bursted or faded over an Exotic. Try changing up Graphics color combinations, or even lacquer over FinishPly™. Then, there's the understated beauty of Satin and Hard Satin finishes, and a myriad of durable FinishPly™ coverings.
All Custom Shop finishes are applied by hand by a team of seasoned craftsmen, it's what makes DW drum finishes so famous.

Below is a collection of standard finish options, but we can certainly color match to exact specifications upon request.
See your authorized DW Drums retailer to learn more about how you can customize your ultimate dream kit.
