DWe Drum Kit Bundle, 5-Piece Limited

DWe Drums feature authentic acoustic shells that can be converted from electronic by simply removing the DWe trigger star plates with drum key screws and changing the batter side drum heads from mesh to the included mylar heads.

DWe e33 Series™ shells are handcrafted from 100% North American Hard Rock Maple. These drums are built with DW’s patented 333 technique, which features Maple plies with grains oriented in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal (X-shell) patterns to deliver low, punchy fundamentals.

All DWe e33 Series™ drums are designed and manufactured in Oxnard, California, USA.

DWe is delivered with mesh batter heads installed for electronic use, as well as mylar batter heads for conversion to acoustic.  8-12" drums come installed with 2-ply mesh heads and 14"-16" drums feature 3-ply mesh heads featuring patented Roland technology from the Power Ply series. 20"-22" woven mesh heads from Remo USA included for Bass Drum batter side.  The included 8"-16" tom mylar heads are single-ply coated clear DW Heads made by Remo USA, and a DW Heads 14" coated snare batter made by Remo USA is also included.

DWe drums are fitted with Chrome, graduated triple-flange hoops to give your drums great tonal versatility. These hoops feature graduated weights (1.6mm for 8 and 10" toms, 2.3mm for 12-16" toms, and 3mm for snares).

DW’s Patented STM™ (Suspension Tom Mount) system allows shells maximum resonance while securing the toms in place. No washers or grommets contact the lug rod receivers, so choking is reduced, and tuning is as easy as ever.

e33™  Series® resonant floor tom legs are 1/2" in diameter, 21" in length, and fabricated in chrome-plated steel.

DWe features a proprietary wireless protocol called DrumLink™ which is based on 2.4GHz and is designed exclusively for drums.  With its unique ability of only sending small micro packets of data at a time the DrumLink wireless protocol avoids any impact from RF interference.

DWe snare features 5 zones for an expressive playing experience. Additionally, by disengaging the digiMag™ throw-off the snare drum has the ability to switch between 10 sounds - 5 sounds with the throw-off engaged and 5 with the throw-off disengaged.

The digiMag™ snare throw-off allows you to change the sound of the drum with a flip of the throw-off. With 5 sounds per drum, disengaging the throw-off engages five additional sounds for your snare.

Play cross-stick naturally with pressure-sensing cross-stick capabilities on your snare drum.

With pressure-sensitive pitch bend on your toms, you can change the pitch of a drum by simply applying pressure to the mesh head.

Dampen the resonance of your toms naturally by using your hand on your mesh heads.

Your DWe kit is compatible with music production software that supports AAX, AU, and VST plug-in formats and functions as a wireless MIDI controller.
