Finished in gloss black and built with DW?s VLT shell construction, this 4-piece configuration?10×8″ and 12×9″ rack toms, 16×14″ floor tom and 22×18″ bass drum? pairs 9-ply tom shells and an 11-ply bass drum shell with maple and mahogany ply construction for a balanced voice that remains controlled, resonant and full-bodied under dynamic playing conditions. The toms feature 45-degree bearing edges for enhanced articulation and sustain, while the 60-degree bass drum bearing edge helps deliver a focused low-end response with added punch. From detailed studio tracking to high-volume live performance, the DW Collector?s Series Maple/Mahogany shell pack delivers a refined blend of warmth, attack and tonal versatility for drummers seeking a premium maple/mahogany drum kit configuration available exclusively through Guitar Center.

Hybrid Maple and Mahogany Shell Construction

Blending the depth and warmth of mahogany with the attack and clarity of maple, the shell design delivers a responsive and controlled feel across the kit. The toms feature 9-ply shells built from seven plies of maple with inner and outer plies of mahogany, while the bass drum uses an 11-ply shell with nine plies of maple and inner and outer plies of mahogany. Combined with DW?s VLT shell construction, the result is a balanced tonal character with focused attack, strong projection and musical resonance that translates naturally across studio sessions, live performance and a wide range of tuning approaches.

4-Piece Configuration With Versatility and Depth

The shell pack includes 10×8″ and 12×9″ rack toms, a 16×14″ floor tom and a 22×18″ bass drum for a versatile setup that balances articulation, punch and low-end depth across a wide range of musical settings. The smaller rack tom sizes deliver quick response, focused attack and controlled sustain, making them well suited for detailed fills and dynamic playing styles, while the larger floor tom and bass drum provide added body and low-frequency presence. Whether tuned for tight, articulate studio tones or a more open and resonant live sound, the configuration offers a balanced playing experience that adapts easily to different genres and performance environments.

Professional Hardware With Consistent Tuning Stability

Black nickel hardware, True-Pitch 50 tension rods and TrueHoops support stable tuning and long-term durability, while suspended tom mounts (STM) allow the shells to resonate more freely for a more open response. These elements work together to maintain consistency across repeated use, keeping the focus on how the drums respond under the stick. Combining VLT shell construction, hybrid maple and mahogany shells and premium DW hardware appointments, the DW Collector?s Series Maple/Mahogany 4-piece shell pack delivers a controlled, full-bodied voice built for both stage and studio performance.
