DW's flagship line, the Collector's Series, are the original US-made custom drums. For years, drum makers have preferred maple for its resonant tonal qualities. Maple is a traditional shell material that provides low-end punch, warmth and attack. This DW Shell Pack features North American Maple shells with 3-ply reinforcement hoops. Toms 8-13" are 6-ply, while 14" and bigger (including bass drums) are 7-ply. This shell pack features rack toms with Vertical Low Timbre (VLT) - a DW special feature which involves arranging grain patterns of shell plies so the outermost and innermost plies run vertically versus the traditional horizontal. This provides less tension on the shell for greater resonance. In addition, all toms include X Shell construction which complements VLT technology through a revolutionary, full vertical shell cross-lamination on the innerplies. The result of these two advancements is a tonally massive drum sound and lowered pitch. Rounding out and refining the low-end of this kit is a kick drum featuring Vertical Low Timbre/Diagonal grain shells (VLX). These shells are the lowest grain orientation available from the DW Custom Shop. It also features DW's patented STM (suspension tom mount) system, which allows drums to vibrate independently, allowing maximum resonance while securely holding the drum in place. Because there are no washers or grommets inhibiting the lug rod receiver, choking is reduced and tuning is as easy as ever. To give drummers even more control over their sound, DW created its patented True-Pitch rod system. The rods feature 5mm threads rather than the 12/24 that's standard on most other drums. To compare, there is 1 thread every 0.8mm on True-Pitch rods (about 20% more threads), versus 1 thread every 1.05mm on most other drums. The result is a more exacting tuning process. Crested by chrome hardware, this shell pack features 10 x 8" and 12 x 9" VLT rack toms, a 16 x 14" X-Shell floor tom and a 22 x 18" X-VLX kick drum. Snare drum, cymbals and hardware sold separately.

The MAPEX Saturn 5-piece Studioease shell pack features the popular maple/walnut Saturn wood formula, kitted out with upgrades to the look and sound. It starts by not fixing what isn't broken—the exotic 7-ply hybrid shells, built at 6.15 mm thickness for the toms and 7.5 mm for the kick. But to heighten the beefy sound of this mixture, MAPEX has added their proprietary Air Flow Venting system, which gives the toms a comfortable "give" to their feel and extra resonance. These shells also have SONIClear bearing edges, which are rounded for more contact between wood and head. This makes the shortened depths on this studio kit sound bigger, while keeping the mic-friendly traits that draw players to this configuration. All these improvements are wrapped up in a fresh selection of lacquer finishes. The Studioease includes two TH800 tom holders and 90-degree static floor tom legs. All other hardware, cymbals and snare are sold separately.
