DW Design Series Frequent Flyer 4-Piece Kit

Full-diameter DW travel kit with a shallow 20-inch bass drum.

DW Shell pack

Co-designed with Peter Erskine, the DW Design Series Frequent Flyer keeps useful adult drum diameters while reducing shell depth for easier travel. The 20 x 12-inch bass drum, 12-inch rack tom, 14-inch floor tom, and full-size 14-inch snare make it more like a flattened professional kit than a micro kit.

Recommended for

Working drummers with tight transport needs Small stages Jazz, pop, and club gigs
