DW Performance Series 4-Piece Kit with Snare 18-inch Bass Drum

USA-made DW Performance maple kit in a compact 18-inch bass drum layout.

DW Shell pack

This DW Performance Series 4-piece configuration puts DW's USA-made HVX maple shells into a compact, bop-friendly layout with a matching 14-inch snare. The 18-inch bass drum keeps the footprint small while the Performance Series hardware and 45/60-degree bearing edges keep it firmly in pro territory.
