The most popular wood for drum making, maple is a hardwood that produces maximum resonance, projection and attack. Combined with reinforcement hoops, it can produce a more focused sound and is well suited for live and studio applications.
The direction of the grain within a shell’s composition contributes greatly to its sonic characteristics. This is the basis of DW’s patented grain orientation technology. Both long and short grain veneers have been proven to influence pitch and can be manipulated to create a wider pitch range within a set of drums and boost low-end response.
SSC stands for Specialised Shell Configuration. It’s the culmination of more than a decade of DW Custom Shop shell technology and represents the state-of-the-art in sonic customisation. So what is SSC? Put simply, it’s DW’s recommended shell configuration that utilises HVLT, VLT, X, and VLX shell technologies. Of course, drummers can custom order a custom DW kit anyway they want it, but we’ve simplified the process by optimising a particular type of shell for each drum size.
