Add a Distinct Thump to Your Kit with a DW Kick!

DW created the Performance Series Kick Drum to allow a wider range of drummers to tap into legendary quality at an unheard-of price. It all starts with the slick new shell design, known as HVX. The HVX shell blends maple plies at different directions for great tone. Upgraded tension rods let you tune your drum more precisely than ever. The result: The Performance Series drums give you affordable drums that can easily span genres.

DW Performance Series 18" x 22" Kick Drum at a Glance:

• Punchy sound from HVX maple shells
  
• The punch and thump you need from a bass drum
  
• Better tuning with DW Performance Series Drums

Punchy sound from HVX maple shells
The Performance Series drum's HVX shells blend horizontal, vertical, and diagonal plies of hand-selected North American hard rock maple (eight in total), and are voiced to give you solid low mids with a ton of punch and articulation. You'll find that these drums offer resonance and projection that is perfect for live performance.

The punch and thump you need from a bass drum
The maple shell of the DW Performance Series Kick Drum gives your sound definition and great response. You won't have to fight with mushy tones that get lost in the mix either, thanks to the brightness and clarity of maple tonewoods. Add a powerful punch and attack to your kit with the DW Performer Series Kick Drum.
