NEW for 2026 – Collector’s Series in Pure Walnut. For the first time ever, DW Drums welcomes Pure Walnut to its expansive line of premium tone woods. Utilizing VLT (Vertical Low Timbre) shell technology, the drums deliver a full-bodied, musical tone with a decidedly shorter note. Pure Walnut shells are perfect for drummers seeking a unique sonic personality that’s well-suited for live performance and recording. Each Pure Walnut shell is handcrafted in the California Custom Shop, treated with hand-applied finishes, and fitted with DW’s innovative drum hardware, including Suspended Tom Mounts (STM), True-Hoops, and more. 5pc Shell Pack Includes: 10x7in Tom 12x8in Tom 16x15in Floor Tom 22x16in Bass Drum 14x7in 20 Lug Snare Drum Finish: Natural To Quick Ebony Satin Speciality with Black Nickel Hardware *Tom holders and stands not included. Pure Walnut Shells 10″ – 24″ Pure Walnut drums feature a 9-Ply VLT shell and Pure Walnut snare drums feature a 12-Ply VLT shell. Bearing edges are 45-degrees on toms and 60-degrees on snares & bass drums. Vertical Low Timbre VLT shells incorporate plies that run vertically, rather than in the traditional horizontal configuration. The vertical grain reduces tension on a shell, allowing it to vibrate more freely for lower fundamental pitch. From Studio to Stage Pure Walnut provides a full-bodied, musical tone with a decidedly shorter note. If you’re looking for a distinctive voice that shines both on stage and in the studio, Pure Walnut delivers.
