  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ย. 2024
  • Witness Tony Royster Jr.'s first experience playing on the all-new DW Performance Series.
    This kit features the Cherry Stain finish.
    The drums sizes in this video are:
    8x10" Tom-Tom (8-ply HVX)
    9x12" (8-ply HVX)
    14x16" (8-ply HVX)
    5.5x14" SNARE (10-ply HVX)
    18x22" Bass Drum (8-ply HVX)
    This is a DW drumset in every way. No detail has been overlooked, no corners have been cut. Its look and sound are decidedly DW. Custom-inspired, with a new Quarter Turret lug, low mass die-cast claw hook, new badge, logo head and hand-sprayed Specialty Lacquer finishes, it's designed to get noticed and most importantly, Performance sounds like what you'd expect from DW. Easy to tune, superior sounding HVX shells, along with DW heads by Remo USA, STM™ (Suspension Tom Mounts), True Pitch™ Tuning and DW 45 degree back-cut bearing edges, all make these drums sing. DRPL
    The cymbals on this kit are all Zildjian (Tony endorses Sabian):
    from overhead left to right (clockwise)
    14" K Custom Dark Hats
    16" K Custom Dark Crash
    17" A Custom ReZo Crash
    18" K Custom Dark Crash
    20" A Armand Ride
    18" K Custom Hybrid Crash

    Bought a performance series kit in pewter sparkle a little while ago. My first gig with it, the sound guy thought they were a collectors series kit just by the sound. He was blown away. Not to mention they looked amazing!

    I know he's just "doodling" on this video, but Tony doodles like Picasso. I've seen some musicians do some crazy things with time over my 45 years, but Tony is a freaking wizard!
    The way he approaches dynamics is so cool. A lot like Papa Jo Jones imho.

    • @andyham6094
      @andyham6094 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Tama drums destroy DW. The superstar custom hyperdrive and superclassics are way better than the design series, tama Starclassics are way better than performance series, and tama star drums are way better than DW collectors series. The hardware that come on tama kits are unrivaled. The starclassic hardware they brought down from the star drums like the quick lock Tom brackets, quick lock floor Tom legs, air cushioned floor Tom legs, and the new bass drum Spurs and legs, claw hook bass drum lugs, and the new swivel wing mounting system is better than the collectors series basic ass hardware and mounting systems which cost 10 times more than Starclassics. Tama hardware, thrones, stands, pedals, are better than DW. And the drums themselves and the sound and feel of tama drums are just a million times better than dW. That’s all just my opinion but a lot of people would agree Dw’s have a average sound that are WAYYYYY overpriced for what u get. Basic hardware basic sound.

      @zachcline7555 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Andy Ham Just no ...lol..I've been using starclassics for close to 18 years and even the performance sound better let alone the collectors series .I went to dw 9000 pedals. Way better than the iron cobras I used before

    • @robertocalderonabogado1427
      @robertocalderonabogado1427 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mapex or Tama Stars are way better. DW = Mexican drums made in the USA.

    @xrandolphx actually, the hardware on this kit is chrome. The dim lighting makes it appear darker than it is. Thanks for considering DW Performance Series for your next kit. We love the black nickel too, but that's a custom option reserved for Collector's, Jazz, and Classics series.
