About DW 50th Anniversary
The DW50 Collection was created by DW Drum Designer, John Good, using special tone woods like Persimmon, Spruce, and Maple, with Rosewood inlays, to commemorate five decades of shared inspiration.
50th Anniversary Drums
The DW 50th Anniversary shells were handcrafted in the California Custom Shop with hand-selected North American Maple, Spruce and Persimmon for classic warmth, rich tonality, and punchy attack.
These HVLT™ shells were enveloped in a beautiful veneer of rare, quilted Maple, and laser-cut Rosewood 50th Anniversary badges and bands.
To commemorate DW’s golden anniversary, these drums are fitted with antique gold hardware.
