The Performance Series is handcrafted in the California Custom Shop. These custom-quality drums are now available with 100% Birch shells for a limited time. Birch is a favourite among studio drummers and engineers, striking the perfect balance between crisp articulation and warm tone. Suitable for many styles of music, Birch offers a sharp attack, short sustain, and balanced resonance. These Birch shells feature HVX' (horizontal-vertical-diagonal) grain orientation that ensures versatility and a complete musical instrument. The tom and bass drum shells feature eight plies of Birch with 45- and 60-degree back cut bearing edges, while snare drums feature 10 plies with a 45-degree back cut edge. This series offers similar hardware features to the Collector's Series, including Suspended Tom Mounts (STM), quarter-sized turret lugs, and graduated triple-flange counter hoops. Performance Series bass drums offer matching Birch hoops and low-mass claw hooks, while all drums are equipped with TruePitch 30 tuning tension rods.

All-Birch, All-DW
Performance Series™ Birch shells are built with DW’s patented HVX™ technique, featuring 100% Birch plies with grains oriented in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal patterns for low, punchy fundamentals.
Crafted in the California Custom Shop, these custom-quality drums offer powerful attack and tight resonance that made Birch a player favourite and a studio legend.
Bearing Edge
HVX™ shells are precision-cut with 45-degree (toms) and 60-degree (bass and snare) edges. These edges provide tonality and sustain from your toms, and depth and punch from your bass and snare.
Note: This is a 5 piece shell kit only - tom holders & hardware are not included. This kit is only available in this configuration and colour. No add-on drums will be available.
