    I'm pretty sure Jose deserves a raise for getting those plies lined up so perfectly. Dude makes it look effortless, it'd take me an hour to do what he did in a minute. Lol

    John Good is a pure genius. To think of these ways to make DW drums and all the custom tools to build the drums. He is truly one of the best drum builders in the country. John may not work the machines much, but it takes the mind to think of and create these machines, and he has vast knowledge of the whole process.

Creating a drum set for someone to love. It seems awesome to see that the passion is still there. I have owned hi end mapex hi end sonor and now a DW collectors kit and they by far have ruled my world. If you have played em you know what I mean. Every time I play some of my other kits I'm like man ya these are sweet damn they sound good and I fall in love again with them until I get back behind my DWs and just think oh yaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. This is the one drum set in my 26 years of playing that I haven't fallen out of love with.

    Sheila E. She use to play with Prince back in the day...she's an excellent drummer. I'm 57 and began drumming when I was around 8. Then I took serious lessons when I was around 10 for 12 years. Glad I who recognized my ability per se and supported me. I started on Ludwig kit...but then my Dad picked it out for my first real set as a gift. I then moved on to Pearl. Over the years I tried dw and loved them...been playing on dw kits for 30 years. Whenever I get a new dw kit...I feel like I won the lottery and cant wait to set them up and just play. The irony is I'm not a professional musician...though many people say I could play pro. My other passion was science and I went on to become a surgeon. However, I'm a surgeon at Vanderbilt University....which is in Nashville, TN. I've filled in for a few bands on Bourbon St. and when I play. I feel like a kid again with no worries, Just banging away on my kit, loving every minute, Thank You dw, for making such a great instrument.

    These 20 to 30-minute segments that give us a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into the manufacturing process really helps to explain and even justify the astronomical price of DW's flagship line.
    Regardless of whether or not you like DW and the DW sound, from what I've seen and researched, there's just no arguing that from start to finish, the level of care, thought, time, effort, quality, and attention to detail that goes into making each drum and ultimately each total kit is simply unmatched.
    DW also leads the drum industry in innovation and their hardware is the industry standard.

    So awesome to see such a high-quality product made in the USA! 18:45 Those quilted maple, turquoise-fade-to-clearcoat wood finish drums look incredible! Would love to see a 59 Les Paul fade too, or a Strat Tri-burst fade. Applying wood veneers, raising the grain and applying finish is a complex process, but I WISH this video had shown some. Please create a video for this alone. Thank you!

    John, Your process of creating a drum, is amazing and extremely educational. What a treat to walk thru your factory with you and realize how difficult it is to make the perfect drum. That's why D.W. stands out above all its competition. I love all your finishes but I gig so often, that I'll get a scratch on it, eventually, and that breaks my heart. Do the pearl finishes change the tone of the drums, very much. I talked to you a few months back about cutting a hole in the front B.D. head, which I haven't done, and you were very informative. If you have the time, I would love to receive a response. God bless, Danny Goodchild

      Hi Danny,
      On a scientific level all things affect the tone of drums, that being said many drummers have kits with FinishPly/Wraps and they sound fantastic. We say get what you love and play them!

    DW is great because they're pioneers and do what the consumers want. When they see a better way to something, they seem to change at the drop of a hat. I hope to get a DW 5 pc this summer!

    The Attention to detail at DW simply cannot
    Be matched by other manufacturers
