Nice tuning! I always thought most people tune DW drums too low. They sound flat that way, tuned up they sing.
A TOP 5 for each price point could be good mini category? Best $300-500, $600-800, $100-1500 you get the idea
SiREN-DRUMS that’s a GREAT idea.
Outstanding informative review as usual. You guys are the best. Thank you.
BEST REVIEWS OUT THERE!! Thanks as always guys for the efforts.
Nice kit, can you please do a Sonor Vintage Series review
Finger crossed for Design Series. Great review as usual. Looking forward for more drum gears coverage.
Yes! Love seeing DW on this channel!
Those drums sounded fantastic without being too thunderous. Definitely a warm growl like the thunder before a storm not while it's on top of you. Can't deny the glossy purple looked sweet too. If I had money I'd say ship them my way!
y'all are truly the best at this.
I own the 7 piece version of this kit. with the addition of an 8" tom and a 14" floor tom. It's literally the most versatile kit I've ever owned!
How would you compare Purple Heart to maple? I’m hard pressed to choose
Well done! Fantastic review! Cheers!
Thanks for another fantastic review. I really love the attack and depth the kit produces. Can you do a review of the Pearl Reference, or reference pure.
What a superb review, I play a Dw collectors myself and I love watching all the videos, you give the same fair reviews whether it’s a starter kit or a top end kit. I love an honest, unbiased review in a world where (especially American) advertising seems to go a longer way towards a review than an actual in depth honest review. Thanks guys great work and please keep it up, now we have lost rhythm magazine I can’t help but thinking this is by far the the best way to review a kit anyway, maybe an opportunity for you guys?
David Sandercock many thanks. When we set out with the creation of Drummers Review, at the very heart of it, we all agreed that whether folks advertise or not, our reviews are 100% impartial. Whilst we review products, we are consumers too, so what you see in our videos and on our website, is what our experience is of the products sent to us straight out of the box. If brands believe in their products, then there is nothing to fear in sending it to us. We are fair and honest with our observations. We hope, as you say with no Rhythm, that previous subscribers see DR to fill a void, now being able to not only see the products, but hear them too, along with our observations. Thanks for your comments and for watching. Please feel free to spread the word about DR, we hope everyone finds it a useful resource. Best wishes, DR
Nolly, you nailed it regarding the appeal for DW Collectors and close mic'd situations. I've been fortunate to do a sound check both playing the kit and fifteen feet out front and you'd swear it was a different kit. I find them underwhelming whilst playing but a dream through a PA. I'm more of a Sonor guy but I see, and hear, the DW appeal.
I recently returned to drumming after a twenty year sabbatical 😊. Long story short I didn't do a complete research in choosing a new kit. I jumped right in with DW & I'm pleased, however after looking into Sonor just recently I would've chosen Sonor. Again DW is a nice kit, but the Sonor is slightly richer in sound. Just my humble opinion..
Ryan Speed Check out anything Tama Starclassic. Tama Star if you have DEEP pockets. They’re all first rate world class drums.
Purple Heart is SUUUUPER dense (which is why you have so much attack/bright tones). You pretty much nailed the idea behind the Purple Heart. Very bright, lots of attack at all tuning ranges. That’s a cool kit!
Sounds birchy to me so that makes sense
I was always curious about purpleheart and how it'd sound, now I know.. I wonder how things would shape up if there was also a 14" floor tom in the review kit.. Awesome review!
I have them for over a year now. Got about 40 drums covers videos uploaded in my channel to date; there is no wrong with these drums; they are an absolute beauty both physically and in sound. mine is a 7 piece set; it is pricey but the quality is undeniable. If you can afford them, highly recommended.
Rody Outdoors thanks for sharing Rody. Best wishes, DR
They do sound pretty great!
Yes please.
Please review the Tama starclassic W/B and a Tama Star walnut kit.
I'd like to see the Starphonic copper snare as well.
Very nice. I’d love to see a dw performance, since we already saw 3 very expensive Dw kits.
Great review, keep it up!
I own both & there's not much of a difference in the sound. The biggest difference is the options you have with the customizing. Shell sizes, finishes, hardware etc.
You did the performance review, awesome!
Always a great review and comments. I love these videos no matter what the brand. One thing though, the overhead angle was kind of off to me. I almost felt like I had vertigo for a moment. Just my opinion.
Gotta get some PURPLE HEART with black nickel hardware and shiny ZILDJIAN symbols. For me dw drums is my favorite.
These sound incredible. I’d also like to hear what they sound like with clear Remo emperors on the toms !
Very nice kit. Your drummer is outstanding! Very musical. How does this kit sound compared to a DW Cherry/Mahogany?
These drums sound superb, as I expected from classic DW, but the Remo white-coated heads leave me a bit cold on everything but the snare. I'd really like to hear this kit with some good clear Evans heads...
please review the dw design frequent flyer kit!
I've got a DW purple heart kit love um record like a dream.
Great review guys!!! DW builds some of the greatest drums out there today.Ive had the distinct pleasure of owning around 8 of there kits since they hit the market. For my taste I still favor the original recipe, maple shells with reinforcement rings, single ply clear_coated heads and the timber matching process. I believe there true hoops and true pitch tunning rods are the best in the business. FOR a true custom kit built in the USA,the price tag is up there but so is the quality. They offer an affordable option in the performance series that's closer in price to Ludwig and gretsch (both made in USA as well).
I have them, they retired my Renown kit, I have not used it ever since the DW came home, with the Renown I used a Black Panther Metal Hammered Snare and even that have been in storage ever since as there is no match for the DW purple Heart snare in my opinion; they are simple awesome and one pays a pretty penny for them, I only wish I had enough to add a 6" 18" and a 20" gong drum to the kit but they all would cost couple grand if no more to add them to this particular kit; if I was a signed musician that is what this kit is missing; it sounds amazing and may be as well the last drums I bought. No need for anything else!
Méchant beau kit
Great video! Would love to see one of the new Tama Starclassic Birch/Walnut kits.
This kit would appeal to folks that can get a dialed in monitor mix. me...I gotta get good response from drums I'm playing...as well as what the audience is getting. For half the price of this kit....I could get top of the line drums that give me response equal to audience sound. Even if I had the budget....wouldn't make sense to me to go for these....but just me.
Pearl Masterworks, Reference or one of the Sonic Select kits could be cool?
Agreed!
What...no 23” kick?😁
John Good is really getting serious about finding woods from all over the planet and making drums from it.
This kit is no exception. Well tuned eye candy this kit never fails to satisfy.
That being said, you’ll find many others lower in price sound just as good. Always shop around before pulling any trigger for a new kit.
No you can’t. And I have the 23 kick. Which I can find drum heads for ;)
I love DW drums and equipment but this one felt short to me. Looked fun to play and i liked the finish/color.
What do you guys usually do with these kits when you're done reviewing them? I'm genuinely curious.
I assume they're sent back but I'd like to know too.
Christian Baumgartner hi. They simply go back to the companies after we are finished with them. Best wishes, DR
Drummer's Review Awesome, thanks for the reply, and all that you do!
Another Dw!
Pearl Masters Maple Reserve and Tama Starclassic Maple reviews! please!
Nice review but in all honesty and this is just my opinion my 7 piece Tama superstar classic custom dark indigo burst maple kit sounds so much better than that overrated DW kit. Mine has so much more range and smooth sustain for half the price. I built my own studio in my backyard just for this kit and I'm not disappointed. If you stood in front of me playing it with your eyes closed you would most definitely think my kit was on the higher end but guess what it has a high end look. That too me says a lot for Tama. Honestly that's why I didn't sucker into buying something so high priced when I have top quality for way less! Just my opinion, Tama&Remo&Meinl are where its at✌
Love the review and, as usual, the playing.
Too much gelt for me. If I had that sort of money to spend I'd want to buy something bespoke from an English builder. (sorry DW, no offence meant) The colour (color) looked to me like school semolina with jam mixed in. Bad memories, yuk!
Own it on a 7 piece configuration, last drums I would ever buy
Beyond the price scope of most drummers.
Gretsch and Ludwig are far more affordable and sound great.
To me personally, they sound better than DW, but everyone is different.
Let's see, Ludwig, Tama, Gretsch, Pearl, DW, Mapex, and others are excellent drum company, but they have different characters, and that's what I love to see, and hear.
Den Svarte Metallkatten
That’s why this channel is so good, but most drummers work within a price range.
Ferraris are out of most drivers' price scope and besides not very handy for a drummer due to lack of space. Nevertheless, they are made and sold and have videos and programmes made about them. What's the problem?

What’s cars got to do with drums.
You’re on the wrong channel.
This channel caters for all drum price brackets.
Roy I understand what your saying completely, but your not comparing apple's to apple's. These are top of the line collectors series kits.Check out Ludwig and gretsch top of the line kits and you will see what I'm talking about.There very pricey as well.If you purchase the DW performance kit,made in the USA,they are in the price range of the Ludwig classics,and gretsch brooklyn.usa. kits.Just thought I would share this info. With you.
Wow woooooooo DW ❤❤❤ super luxury brand infact ❤❤❤ please send me DW 😢😢i need DW really just
donc maintenant les petit toms c tjs des 10"
Nolly!
Sounds like a drum to me
I respect DW so much but seems like they are obsessed with creating drums with the most low frequency content possible. I don’t really get that.
Wish the drummer in these videos would actually play a convincing backbeat!! Someone teach him how to rimshot!! I wanna hear the snare!!
Toms sound dead. No sustain.
Deadleg There was a lot of compression on that mix.
No better than a kit costing one third of the price. Don’t be fooled ..
Totally overrated drums.
@Dumpster Fire I think the same about your comment.
sounds like you prabably cant afford them 😂
Almost 5K for this kit, and it sounds like a mid range, $900 kit..😑😑
