Built with Drum Workshop's proprietary Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC). DW layers plies cut to different grain orientations--horizontal, vertical, and diagonal (X-shell)--to lower the fundamental pitch of shells, maximize resonance, and produce a complete instrument.

SSC is the result of John Good's experiments, which led to the discovery of tension's effect on tone. These drums use construction techniques that alternate wood grain directions, which modifies tension and pitch.

Features:

- Collector's Series turret lugs offer an iconic design, while holding tuning and distributing tension to prevent warping.
- True-Pitch Tuning Rods
- True Hoops
- DW MAG Throw-off Systems
- Butt Plates
