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
he makes 12hr...john good makes 11mill😎
Incredible! I love the excitement John has about his drums and wood.
Edit: I died laughing when I saw the knocker on that spray booth lol.. using a bass pedal
Ha.
I love John Good's respect for all the employees. Thank you all for your love and passion of making precision drums - DW you're the best! 👍🥁👍DC
That's an engouh reason for mo to buy a DW.
That´s exactly right, Mr. John Good´s respect for all the employees, amazed me... Thank you John and Dw Drums!!
David Curtis I was thinking the exact same thing. I noticed how he knew each one by name and seemed real about it. It’s easy to spot a fake and this guys looked legit.
uh oh adults here I’m here cause online classes
Dude.
9:35 Neil Peart´s kit in process, beautiful...
I was gonna say. Cool
nice catch
I was about to ask
May he rip
I don't think that was his kit, I think those were the 40th Anniversary Neil Peart Snare Drums!! the kit would be all different sizes. czcams.com/video/MgaSQR7zbxQ/video.html
This short insight into dwdrums was extremely well put together, just like the drums appear to be. I'm sure all your employees are proud to be working at a company that achieves such excellent standards.
Thank you! 😄
I really like how nice he is to his staff and that he knows all their names! That's impressive and the way to go
They don't know what he's saying.
why do people care so much about names? i'm more impressed when people remember little quirks or facts about me...
You see that guy over there, he has this quirk where he flinches when you call him 'champ' after calling everyone else by their name. We do it all the time because he pretends not to care, but we know it bothers him a LOT. It's hilarious! @@treatb09
@@TempoDrift1480 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude loves Mexicans lol
Favorite part was how you knock on the door for the spray booth.
Luckily, I'm an independent consultant and I definitely don't like working under a boss. But for sure, I wouldn't mind working for John Good. The respect he shows to each collaborator and the knowledge of the processes performed by each one of them, shows that he's an awesome leader.
DW team, you rock!!!
Those drum craftsmen are musical heroes. This factory looks like tuned machine and the process is beautiful. Much respect for this team.
Thank you
John Good is a genius, so much respect for him, love the way we treats his employees. Such a cool factory tour, so glad I bought my collectors series. You guys are true masters!🤘🏼
Thank you.
In Christmas of 2015, I got DW Performance Series Stainless Steel Snare, 14x8!!!! That is now my main snare!!!!! And BOY is it HEAVY!!!! But it's important. I love it!!!
Bought one of the first available oak drums, an 8x14, from Dale's. It's a beast. Mr. Good was nice enough to sign the shell when he was in the shop. Love his passion and dedication.
Nice, you talking Dales Drum shop in Harrisburg? I am lining up a collectors kit through them now. I might just choose this oak set. Will see.
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.
Those workers must love him walking in, taking the drums they're working on and moving them around
This was the video that convinced me to take the DW leap! I ended up with pure maple but I'm not looking back! The whole process of tambre matching makes all the difference!
I love watching how things are made and I have to say I'm am seriously impressed with how much attention to detail is put into the making of these drums. I hope I can afford one one day lol
animedrummerboy I wish it comes true !
Thank you, John Good... You are an incredible ambassador to drum manufacturing... It's quite the process.
That guy Jose, putting those shells together, man, he has to have such an eye and hands for that. I wonder how hard it is to get the skill to put it together so it fits in.
I think those guys are master drum builders. 5 out of 5 for DW.
He’s a master. I kind of worry about his health though. He looks like he weighs 400 pounds and could go any day.
I am in love with the manufacturing process of these drums, DW really seems to be one of the few real innovators when it comes to drum shells. Making machines specifically for some of the drum building processes.
very impressive drum manufacturing has come a long ways
Details, perfection, passion, responsibility...art. Well done DW!
Thank you.
Dw Done Well lol
Sir, when I see your energy and personality,, when I see how you try for the best and what you give to this world,, I'm hard working father of young family but I hope as one of thousands drumming lovers that one day I will plant a three by you too. Stay yours 🖤🤟
I completely understand, why these drums are so expensive. Worth every cent.
I agree, they make some fine drums and it's good to see so much 'hands-on' going on. I'd be interested to see how different the manufacturing process is for the Taiwan-made Designer Series.
DW is quality. Drums that last and you can pass on to your grand children and wife.
The care and detail put into these drums is phenomenal. Excellent job DW, you make a amazing set of drums.
picking up my Collectors series kit on Wednesday can't wait to start playing it
I am jealous

My name is Luiz Carvalho, Carvalho is OAK in portuguese...we feel every love in any pieces to me DW is still a distant dream but just see it make me happy, the way you bring magicfor all your love is wonderfull... carry on!!! from a fan of Brasil!!!
John Good is my favorite drum guy ever. Such a great guy and very intelligent
I love how organized this factory is and how much love is invested in creating these beautiful instruments!❤
Thank you 😃
Gorgeous drums. I can barely play the radio but I seriously want a set of these. You have an amazing facility and great employees! Thanks for sharing.
Very excited for these oak drums, I've played other oak drums for years and love the full bodied tone from them but now I can get them with the passion and craftsmanship from DW!
He’s so respectful of all the employees. What a nice boss to work for.
I love watching stuff like this as a drummer.
Even though I will not be able to afford a set from them.
I want a maple/mahogany set if I was to choose and had the money.
this is incredibly beautiful. One day I will own a custom DW kit... one day
Wow, there is a lot of technology and also human craftsmanship that goes into these drums. I’m impressed, not only with the drums but John Good and the company. One day, a set of DW Collector’s will be mine. Oh yes, it WILL BE MINE.
thank you.
So much love put into every drum. I’ll gladly pay a little more for Drum Workshop products.
Incredible innovations and superior attention to every detail....That is why DW is the best and sound amazing! John is the man!
Perfect sound, beautiful toms and great quality ! I love it !!
John setting here with a good friend of yours AJ. In Tampa FL. Aj sold me my firsts DW kit in the 80s then the 90s then three more kits. I love them all I'll never sell them. they all have a little story to tell. AJ and I have a drum studio where we keep all are drum's of 40 years or so DW has aways been the best to me.
I swear to god man, DW is the best ever drum company...
The Oak kit is definitely worth checking out. Like everything
@dw, it's outstanding!
amazing dw drums just keep getting better in all areas great job DW Drums
Thank you for showing the the process on how you manufacture these kits. And for the cherry on top... Ms. Sheila Escovedo.
😄
It is very neat to see how DW drums are made and put together.
Amazing video. Now I know why I love your drum sets sound.
Great insight into the process of high end drum making.
Cool custom machines. Amazing and complex process to make a drum. Never imagined it was so involved..!
Thank you
This is wonderful! And a very pleasant experience looking how you make them and how good they sound and look at the end!
I just could afford a pdp set but hey it's great all you guys do!
Man on mission. What a visionary. tremendous effort and process.
What a fantastic process. I've always wondered how drums are made. Next time I see a DW drums kit, I'll have a better understanding and appreciation of the work, skills and time that has been put into each drum.
W😯W!!! I wish you guys had your own weekly tv show. I love watching these factory videos and seeing all the new creations. Other than wishing I was a pro drummer this would be my dream job. 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.
Thanks guys...the oak sounds bad ass
It is very interesting to see how much work and craftsmanship goes into such a product. It makes me appreciate the product even more.
I love the culture, enthusiasm and respect for the colleagues, technology, and the drums/wood. I would really like to work in an environment like this.
WoW, my dream come true. To see how those fine drums are made. Amazing....someday I will have one like that one....
I absolutely love the whole ethos of this company, their passion for the products they produce and the innovative ideas on what their customers may like. I was looking to buy an acoustic kit at some point, and I've decided to hold off and save up a bit longer to invest in a DW kit.
John makes me love drums even more. I need a dw kit asap
Good stuff! Makes me want to go out and buy a set right now! Beautiful explanation and tour!
We might have something for you, lol 😉
Ok I believe thats the most wonderful drum set, and as far as Miss Sheila E in heels, well ....the best way to finish the video!! cheers from UK.
Lots of innovation happening. Cool to see how stuff is done!
Absolutely amazing what goes into and seeing the process of making the perfect Drum ... DW Collector Series Awesome
Wow, you have put together a great facility and a great skilled workforce! I really like your company, and your products speak for themselves. I hope to own one some day.
I will own a DW set soon! cant wait!
I totally love John’s level of wood/drum nerdiness.
@textme9592 really! Show me!!
Thank you John for your ‘commitment to excellence’. D W is the kit we all envy 🤟
Thank you.
Woaow... Very impressive. Thank you Mr Good, I like so much the way you explain how you all work at DW. I'm a proud owner of a DW Frequent Flyer set and probably one day or another I'll take the next step : order a DW Classic Series drum kit which makes me dream for quite some times now.
OMG .. I LOVE DW , guys you r such UNIQUE , Thanks a million for the video
7:41 oh mannnn, this is officially the future. so much craftsmanship RESPECT!!!!
The workers are probably thinking inside their heads...”can you shut up and leave so I can do my job in peace.” Haha
After getting a DW drum, I would like to visit their houses and on a weekend barbecue and talk about drums.
Those toms sound incredible! Love the floor tom tone. I appreciate the care that this guy has for his employees, he treats them like equals.
😃
Thank you for the tour!
🙏
What an amazing level of craftsmanship!!!
Thank you John.
Great video with REAL people doing fantastic jobs around the factory, they all look like they enjoy working there. The kits look amazing and sound fantastic. Thanks for the tour John Good loved watching.
I love dw drums
Very cool video! I love DW drums!
beautiful job of all of them. the results sound pretty good...
So amazing! One day hope to have one....
Never ever will get tired of watching and listening to John Good, god bless you man
🥁
That was an excellent watch.
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.
I didn't know you could make oak drums sound so good 💯🔥👌🏻
Tuning and timbre matching… Very cool!
This is fantastic! He treats his crew with such respect!! I just ordered my first DW snare drum - a Collectors brass plated in nickel. After watching this - I am DW for life!!
Thank you Jonas.
@4:45 "we try and keep this room as moist as we can"
Giant bay door open in the background 🤣
My dad got me a DW Design Series kit in Midnight Blue Satin for Christmas. I love it!!!! That was my dream kit forever, and now it’s finally mine!!! I also have a massive Performance Series Stainless Steel 14x8 snare drum. And for jewelry, I have Zildjian A Custom cymbals with the exception of an 18in Platinum Rock Crash and a 9in K Custom Hybrid splash cymbal, cute little guy with an explosive sound!!! And my sticks? None other than the Vic Firth 5A and 5AN!!!!!! Hardware includes a Tama Iron Cobra, DW tom stand, Yamaha snare stand, DW hi-hat stand, Pearl ride stand, and PDP cymbal stands, and a Pork Pie throne!!!!
John knew every employee by name. Great video, you certainly get what you pay for!
Yeah that´s right and It´s just Amazing!!
😃
I hope to own a DW collector's series set one day. I've been playing on the same PDP maple set for the past 10 years and have put it through the ringer...but it still sounds great :)
This is just the coolest thing.. Beautiful drums.
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.
Great company this one you all have! :) I'll purchase one of them, one day!
Best drumer factory maker around the world this days🔔🥁
This was a really neat watch.
Sheila E Playing in heels! Can't say I'd think it comfortable, but good on her if she can make it work.
I watch a female drummer from South Korea playing metal music high heels and dress amazing talented person
I'm pretty sure this is how 'heel up' technique was discovered. :D
That is beautiful John!!!!!!!🙏💓
awesome drums
Beatifull drums, and e very impressife factory, but really what impressed me is how do you cop with your workers and by they names. That is team work!
Respect for that👍👍
😃
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!
Hey John that's awesome!!!
Very informative video. Thank You DW!
Thanks for watching
DW really do make a beautiful drum
The Attention to detail at DW simply cannot
Be matched by other manufacturers
Yamaha would like some input here.
