Designed to authentically replicate the drums of the 30s, 40s and 50s, DW Classics Series drums feature a Poplar/Mahogany shell with oversized all-maple reinforcement hoops and a soft butter bearning edge for a dark, punchy tone. Our goal with Classics was to craft a road-worthy kit with all of today's professional features, but one that still satisfies even the most diehard vintage fanatics.
