Engineered for Superior Sound

DW's Performance Series drums deliver amazing control over your tuning and tone. True-Pitch tuning rods use a tighter threaded tension rod so you can more precisely intonate your kit. True-Pitch tuning rods have 20% more threads than common tuning rods, so the DW Performance Series drums can be tuned more precisely than most drums on the market.
