Pure Purpleheart shells
DW paved the way for purpleheart as a tonewood with its Pure Purpleheart line of drums. The DW Collector's Series Pure Purpleheart shell pack pushes this exotic wood to its limits. Due to its extreme density — which is even greater than oak — it delivers a satisfying attack that is amplified by DW's VLT shell construction. A beautiful, extra-durable Broken Glass FinishPly wrap completes the package.
VLT shell construction
You get impressive punch and resonance from the Collector's Series Pure Purpleheart shell pack. The secret is DW's VLT (Vertical Low Timbre) shell construction, which uses multiple plies of purpleheart arranged with alternating grain patterns. By alternating the direction of the wood grains, VLT shells are more rigid, enhancing their focus and attack for better live projection.
Unshakable DW quality
For over 30 years, DW has made some of the most revered drums, pedals, stands, and other drum hardware out there. It all began with an innovative adjustable trap-case seat. Not only was this the first of DW's many breakthrough hardware designs, but it showed the world that they really understand what drumming is all about. On top of that, DW craftsmanship has more than set the bar for drum makers everywhere. Discover this commitment to quality for yourself in every drum and piece of DW hardware you buy.
