I bought a DW kit in 2001 and it was a pice of art. Hardly ever had to tune them even being on the road. Unfortunately I had to sell them when my daughter was born. Just bought a set of Yamaha stage customs and I think they sound warmer compared to the 3k DWs. DW is still in my heart as one of the best sounding and quality made drums. Recording custom or DW collector’s series are in a league of their own.
well, that says a lot about DW drums 🙂
Birch vs maple is probably what you’re hearing
I love DW drums! My first and current drum set is from DW. The best!

Why isn't this channel more popular
ikr
More like why isn’t this channel more *poplar*!
Btw I am not making fun of your comment, I really agree with you.
When i bought my set 14 years ago I was shaking with excitement and anticipation waiting for them to be delivered not only do they look and sound great they are so easy to tune
I wish to own my very own DW drum kit one day
Always excited to see a new video out, this channel is so underrated and deserves more popularity. Keep up the great work with your videos!
The owner didn’t even like this comment. They don’t care.
If you ever looking for more drummers DW you got me sold. ☝️👍🤘
Amazing!
Very special drums. Truly custom.
Amazing keep music and drums alive ❤
Did anyone else catch the Eric Moore emblem? Well timestamp is 6:40. 😎 Satisfying video!
Thanks for putting the information on your standard of Excellence I'm looking forward to a d w kit just got to get healthy enough to get out of this Hospital
Drums are beautiful...
I wish i could have one of the best kit in DW drums ..One of my dream drumset
I love my dw collectors series purpleheart snare drum
Really makes me appreciate how noble & Cooley make their drums, however I will give dw kudos for making them in the USA.
I have always wanted a dw kit but I went with the mapex saturn and I love it. the soniclear bearing edge is great
Those mapex Saturn drums are great drums. Agreed. We checked out over 100 kits at same time. The Saturns finished # 2 for me out of 100 I
Could have gone # 1, but they got 2 b/c they are sonically just a tad quieter, but in a colorful wood resonance minute way. The shell concepts are great imho. Drum on. D
Nice thanks 🙏🏽
Hallo Mr Good I want to thank them for everything they do for DW Drums,I only have a Design serie drum set
but if I have enough Money I will buy a DW Custom Drum kit.I wish you all healt and best regards Bruno Von arx.
When I first brought my dw kit home I was afraid to set it up because I didn't want it to get scratched or something since it's so nice .. lol.
I could only dream of owning a completely custom DW kit. Maybe one day.
It's good to dream. Perhaps some day you'll have that very expensive kit. Good luck 🤘
@@THEATREofPAIN270 I think at this point I would be fine with a good DW kit that’s versatile for both studio and concert use. It don’t have to be full on custom. Although I could agree that it would be like the ultimate in super cool but not necessary. No a good DW kit that sounds good and is versatile is just fine. I think that would be on the more affordable side for me. I’ve seen them go for anywhere from around 900 bucks for a used kit but still in decent condition to around 3500 for a new one and up to 10 to 14 thousand. If I could get a nice looking DW, maybe on the slightly used spectrum, for around 2000 or maybe less I’d be happy. I agree with you though it’s still good to dream.
Love the process. Love the colors and many options they have and they sound amazing but for me this is just preference I’m not a fan of the round lugs. Everything else is perfect. I really do wish one company I can’t mention which are my favorite drums. Would offer the finest of finishes and options dw has to offer. But what a great company video here and there products.
I’ve had a few DW kits.
I appreciate the craftsmanship and quality of the build. Incredible drums. But I never could find my sound with DW. It’s similar to how guitar players prefer say, a Strat over a Les Paul. There’s just a denseness to DW drums that doesn’t work for me.
I prefer a lighter and quicker response. It takes a lot of effort to pull sound out of DW’s and my hands got destroyed when I played them. So Tama Starclassic it is for me.
From the time wood is taken off the shelves and placed into the molds, until they are wrapped and packed, how long does this process take for a standard 5 piece? A Week? A month? 5 months? Just curious as to the length of time a build takes.
Wonderful artisanal work.
I’m wondering, if they consider to make a beech drum some day.
I love my DW Design Series kit. It’s in a Midnight Blue Satin finish. The toms are smaller than what I used to play, but I actually like the smaller toms better because, for me, they’re easier to tune.
i wanna work there
Wow
❤️❤️👑❤️❤️
It’s a great way for people to learn how to make a to do a drum
What?!
@@rufushayday6990 I watched this video and literally made my own kit in less than 3 hours
I love watching videos on anything drums, including how they’re made (check out the Noble and Cooley videos!!). That said, DW drums sound GREAT….if you want drums that sound like cardboard boxes 😂
Psst DW drums own your avatar.
@@tuslokbaki9579 Yea, nope
This is one factory I'd love to work at!
6:18 that is my drumsets wrap
okay richboy🤣
@@adamdiazzz I'm not rich lol
Looking at DW Performance Series Diamond Nebula or Gold Sparkle? 🤔🤔🤔
Man I have had 2 DW Kits (Custom and Performance Series). My favorite by far is my Performance kit. I love the straight shells (no reinforcement rings) and the smaller lugs. They just sound huge and stay in tune. Great kit.
why do you not produce steam bent drums?
Dw for drums is like industry nine for mountain bikes.
I’d like to see a DW kit up against a Pearl Reference kit. Just to settle what’s better.
Did he just say Purt.............
“Everything is made by hand”
God I want to work in a drum factory
I play Tama...
kapan aku punya dram .ke penggen juga punya tapi sayang tidak mampu membelinya .
salam 🇲🇨
It’s thanks to DW that all manufacturers have raised their prices on their high end kits. They said our kits sound as good sometimes better we are going to charge that too than. Thanks DW.
Because customization. Take a look at the performance series. They're cheaper because there is no custom options.
DW charges a lot not only because of customization, but also because of the high labor costs and business taxes in the USA, and even more so in California, where DW is. Meanwhile, brands like Sonor and Pearl charge more than DW, and neither of them have to compensate for extremely high labor costs and taxes, because neither of them are from the US; yet nobody bats an eye. Hating on DW has become more of a trend than DW themselves.
@@jareddoran6605 thats facts. Labor costs here in the USA vs literally anywhere else would be higher lol. The reason the design is super cheap for DW is because they make them in Taiwan. Imagine if the Performance and Collectors series were made there, too... you could drop a third of the price tag. Its insane
@@jareddoran6605 Its too comical the haterization towards DW. You're right Sonor is equally expensive and I've never heard anyone say they're to expensive or overpriced. I will continue to enjoy my DW kit proudly without having to bash another brand. 😊
The price of tama star / pearl masterworks / sonor sq2 all way more than DW It’s comical the hate they get and no one says a word about the other ones.
DW is the drummer’s choice.
pdp all the way!!! Save some money 💰
3:11
Im far too poor to afford DW so im watching to attempt to make my own cheaper version. 😅 no chance haha!
How can i order? Im in the Philippines.
Hy
How can I become an employee of your company?
It's frustrating for this video's soundtrack, at the beginning, to have electronic drums
Metro booming looking at this rn
MR. LOUIE GARCIA 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
It boggles my mind why Scott Donnel doesn't pronounce the late great Neil Peart's name correctly!
HIS NAME IS PRONOUNCED PEERT NEIL PEERT NOT PERT BRO
Can you beer me now?
I'd take a Sonor Tama Mapex or Pearl over DoucheWisher
Wood? Plywood.
Intro music with no real drums?
Where are the American workers ?
It's freaking me out that no one's wearing a mask because sawdust is a carcinogen to the lungs. Epoxy is also a skin sensitizer and 1B carcinogenic substance. Your workers look exhausted and the owner is "calmly" explaining everything.
:/
Is there any drums NOT "made by hand"?!?
Looks 100% Mexican Made
They’ll Prob sound like shit then
Can you please show some respect and actually learn how to say Neil Peart's name.
It's not difficult.
They knew him personally. I think they can pronounce his name correctly if he was a personal friend.
@@JakeStaffin Hi Jake - it's P-ear-t, not 'Pert'. There's at least one video of Geddy and Alex saying how to pronounce it, and I dimly remember that Neil says how to pronounce it himself in the video where Jason Segal and Paul Rudd meet Rush (I haven't checked if that's where it was).
It's an interesting thought though - are they right because they are his friends, or are they not really his friends because they couldn't even bother to get his name right?
@@JakeStaffin Here you go - don't listen to me, listen to Geddy and Alex: czcams.com/video/Mq84CpHo9cU/video.html
Plywood drums are nothing but the cheapest, fastest and most economic way to build drums. Its pretty easy and repeatable. There is so much bla bla going on 😅
DW is overrated! Their drums are good, but they took partly old ideas and stuff and modernized a little.
Sonor the other US Companies and the Japanese as well are as good as DW. Good to me seemed arrogant whilst talking trash.
Do you play drums? Have you ever been in a studio with a mic'd kit?
@@benboyd3082 For abt.40 years, worked in studios, had a visit with a long and absolutely unforgettible demonstration at the PTB of the importanceof the acoustical properties of instrument, especially drums.
Good found nothing new.
@@Manassasjunction well from the 97 Ludwig classic, tama performer birtch, premier genista, out of all of those my DW blows them out of the water when it's studio time. Just saying.
@@benboyd3082 in the 80s I took my Tama Superstar with brand new heads and my set of Zildjians to a studio gig. The engineer rejected it immediately and I have to use an old rogers dampend down to a cardbox like sound. In the final mix it sounded great. We can discuss the acounstic o drums and cymbals for hours on end. Look for the vibrational nodes of drumheads an d cymbals as well as drumshells. I used to check drums in the same room with the known acoustic and never miked. As I started in ca. 1964 my first test is always with Amb. coated on top and diplomat as bottom. Look for Bork, PTB Braunschweig, Germany.
@@Manassasjunction glad you know how to tune drums.
DW products are over rated and over priced. They don’t sound any better than any other drum.
Typical answer from one who just can’t afford the premium price tag😅
