  • This looks like the DW-Evangelists..., and one of the Evangelists is eating a cookie!! ;-))

  • I have a PDP FS kit. How does it stand up to the performance series? I love DW Drums but I really wish I had the real thing.

  • @woweasyguides The FS is a Birch shell but made pretty similar to a Birch Collector's Series shell. The FS and the Performance Series are different because the Performance Series is a Maple shell so too compare the 2 is an apple to orange situation. Otherwise they do have similarities in the fact that they are productions line drums with set configurations with the Performance Series being made here in our factory in Oxnard, CA and the FS kit being made in our factory in Taiwan. Thanks!

  • @DrumWorkshopInc Thank you. And would the PDP FS series be considered a "lower end kit?" I know it's not a DW Performance or Collector's kit but...

  • cobu use these babies too..they just sound too good!

  • @xICHIGOxiii That's right Cobus love him some Performance series!

  • Are these drums made in Mexico? Because my local dealer told me that the performance series is made in Mexcio

  • @poopcrackbox7 We originally made the Performance Series in our factory in Ensenada. We have since closed that factory down and moved all the manufacturing of Performance Series to our factory here in Oxnard, Ca. We have been making the Performance Series here since late January last year overlapping the closing of the Mexico facility. Hope that helps!

  • These drums are AMAZING xD

  • @Tadyon Thanks so much! 

  • Neil P still not doing interviews.

  • @benaberry He's a quiet guy but we get him to speak from time to time. Have you seen the SSC video with Neil and John Good yet?

  • I love Tony Royster in his backwards cap and Danny right next to him in his classy bowler or whatever it's called hahaha

  • @yisoonshin12 Both very classy though right? :) 

  • @DrumWorkshopInc hahaha yep both good drummers. Having Cobus Potgieter in this conference would have made my day hahaha

  • @yisoonshin12 We should do another conference just for Cobus. :)

  • @DrumWorkshopInc totally. I wish I had one of these sets, but I am a little tight on money, being a poor high school kid hahaha

  • So if Performance Series is a mid range kit what is a high range kit???

  • @ned2one The Collector's Series in an Exotic finish would be the highest price range for us.

  • I thought Thomas Lang was Sonar?

  • Personally, I think Pridgen makes the Performance series sound so much better. Also Acuña.. Bozzio and Lang are fucking lame

  • whats the price on these? they kept saying that they were affordable but coming from these amazing drummers that get paid big time, what does affordable really mean?

  • @dshsdrumline14 We do not do any pricing or direct sales from our factory here. We can tell you the Performance Series is definitely more affordable that the Collector's Series but you will not have the customizabilty of the Collector's Series. The Performance Series does have its own unique shell technology and finish types. Feel free to check the link below for our Dealer Locator to find a the closest authorized DW drums dealer to you for pricing and ordering info.

  • @DrumWorkshopInc ://drum(dot)know-where(dot)com­/drum/

  • Are the Performance Series drums as good as the Collectors Series?

  • @drummer4life54 Different than the Collector's Series actually. The Performance Series have their own shell type with the HVX but you can not customize the finish like you can with the Collector's Series. You can not get the HVX shell type with the Collector's Series.

  • @DrumWorkshopInc thanks! I ended up ordering through Guitar Center. The date for availability on their site says Feb 3rd. Any idea of when they might be shipped to me? So stoked, can't wait for them to get here.

  • @nickmartinez27 Anytime! We unfortunately do not have anyway to check stock for there website. We hope it is accurate for you sake. :) Thanks again!

  • Caramba!! Todos os meus idolos juntos!!! Muito bom!!!

  • @wmcampos1 Glad you got to see all them together!

  • Tony Royster: IMMA LET YA'LL FINISH IN A SEC BUT DW DRUMS MAKES THE BEST DRUMS THERE IS.

  • Whoever said Tama Silverstar... lol. Dw makes amazing quality products. I still have a pdp fs series birch kit and that sounds better than any tama I've ever heard at all. I've already ordered my own set of Performance series though, should be shipping this Friday I hope! Congrats on the discovery to everyone at DW! Great work sir John Good :)

  • @nickmartinez27 Thanks for your feedback on the PDP FS. Great to hear you liked the FS and we are working on getting your Performance Series kit out to you shortly! 

  • i was worrying that Lang would have nothing to say cause everyone would have said it :L

  • looks like someone needed a pop filter

  • @BowDownMufasa Lol!

  • When do you think I can be able to buy this kit in México? and could you tell me the price, even approximately? in USD. This kit looks absolutely amazing, congratulations for your great products.

  • @abdielfromhell You can purchase or order it right now! Please contact our Mexican distributor at the contact below. Thanks so much for liking the Performance series!

  • Does you guys use the same wood between the performance and the collectors series?

  • @shadowseal22 We use Maple for the Performance Series and Maple is an option for the Collector's so yes!

  • lol when he says now you can afford it... what ever lol there still like £1600+ whats affordable about that .........

  • T Pridge - hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiigh

  • just saw a 5 piece at guitar center's website for $2199.00..that , my friends, isn't very cheap !..LOL !

  • @blica1 for a dw it is, and besides these are pretty close to as good as it gets

  • @Powerfuzz18 We got you guys talking at least. :)

  • great sounding drums, but i have to say sorry, they still not within my reach price wise..however , considering that they are DW, it's a good deal, not fantastic, but good..;)

  • Comment removed

  • Somebody is eating a cookie at 12:00.

  • @bartdelas LOL

  • nooo i hate maple sets... birch all day

    all hail Tama silverstar drum kits... lol

  • @bigfatpanda4345 those are really, really good drums for the price. the kick is massive and the toms are warm as hell haha my friend just got a shell pack

  • @sabiankid11 Great news! Enjoy! 

  • @sabiankid11 you know what.... these are pretty solid for a maple kit I actually when to the drum shop and played some they sounded great

  • @bigfatpanda4345 Just to chime in guys...we are happy that you are liking the sound Sabiankid11. :)

  • This kit is a couple of grand... why are they making it sound like its affordable?

  • @juangutierrezArt haha, this is probably 1/3 of a collectors. it's pretty cheap for a DW

  • is there anywhere where all these video's are?

  • is there anywhere where all these video's are? the others rather than tony, derek and thomas?

  • Whats the average price on the performance series kit, such as the one in this video..

  • @The27Stars Thanks for asking! We do not do any pricing or sales direct from our factory here. Best call is to contact your local authorized DW drums dealer. Please use the link to find the closest one to you.

  • Well DW, I just joined the family with the performance series! And I'm blown away! got it yesterday and I couldn't be happier! the kickdrum is a monster and everything is fantastic! I'm so pleased and my bassplayer said that it's the best kit he's ever heard! Thanks so much!

  • @Insectamongus Welcome to the DW family! So awesome to hear that your Performance series is going well for you already. Enjoy! It sounds like your bass player knows what he's talking about. :) Have a great weekend!

  • @bam2944 We would have love to have him there but he had prior commitments unfortunately. Maybe next time!

  • I've been waiting 5 months for my kit to arrive. I certainly hope it's worth it.

  • @dicko2704 What finish type did you order and from which dealer? We might be able to help you out.

  • @DrumWorkshopInc Performance series, Ebony Lacquer. From Sound Attak in the UK. I've heard the waiting is long for these kits.

  • @dicko2704 Ok I went ahead and checked on the status of your kit. We are doing our best to get it shipped out on our scheduled one a month, shipment for Sound Attack in the middle of next month. Hope this works for you!

  • @DrumWorkshopInc Thank you, I really appreciate that. The middle of next month being November?

  • @jkeef92 Awesome thanks! Always feel free to get back to us with any questions you might have about anything DW. 

  • @DrumWorkshopInc

    Were can i get the Performance Steel Snare?

  • @145DrumMaster You can order one from any of authorized DW drum dealers. A DW drums dealer might even have one in stock.

  • Nissan wants to hear Thomas play lol

  • @King7191 Who doesn't?!? ;)

  • Thomas P. the only one who got on kit and went hard lol

  • Are there going to be any addition size bass drums coming out for the Performance Series...maybe like a 22 by 14?

  • @johndmb16 No plans right now but we love hearing any suggestions. We'll keep everyone posted if we decide to add any sizes.

  • marco minnemann should be there!!

  • @kevpal888 Next time hopefully. :)

  • are there other dw artists that use these drums? (another that cobus)

  • @killjoyshidae1208 Basically all the artists in this video have a Performance kit in their quiver. At this point it's hard to tell how many and which artists exactly are using the Performance Series exclusively but we have had great feedback from our artists about the tone and sound of the Performance Series!

  • i don t like nissan stewart,i don t like this he s not original drummer!!!

  • I. Need. This. Kit. That is all.

  • the mic is SM 57?

  • @drummerganteng87 Which mic exactly?

  • @drummerganteng87 Jup it is, weird that they dont used 58's

  • @stereohearts For the press conference portion of the video?

  • Where does Lang comes from ??

  • @hurlomhai He is from Austria!

  • All that's missing is natural finish and I'm in! I see the Performance series has a natural snare, but I want the whole kit natural.

  • @kidgloves2 Natural finish has been noted. Hmmm...you are not the first request. :)

  • What was used to mic the drums?

  • @numcaps2 Sorry for delayed response. The mics Road NT6's were used. The style where they clip on the counter-hoops. Have a good one!

  • @DrumWorkshopInc cobus artist vid please!

  • @killjoyshidae1208 We do not have one just yet for DW but Drum Channel has footage of Cobus. Just search "Cobus Drum Channel" in the You-tube search engine and you find some footy of Cobus playing and being interviewed. Have a good one!

  • @killjoyshidae1208 He doesn't belong on a table/video with any of these drummers

  • @DrumWorkshopInc will there be more vids of the performance series, like the steel snare?

  • @killjoyshidae1208 Good call! We are always working on uploading more content. The Steel Performance Series snares are very versatile in their sound. We will definately take your suggestion seriously and look to get some footage soon. :)

  • It's funny how almost every one of these drummers pretty much almost say that these aren't actual DWs before catching themselves. Still pretty sweet set though.

  • @parthor1 Well the Performance Series are not the Collector's Series and these guys know that well. All these guys loved the way the Performance Series sound or we couldn't get them to do this conference. Thanks for the thinking the set is sweet!

  • Could you upload the Thomas Lang performance, please?

    Greetings.

  • DW? Affordable? HA!!!

  • This is just a promo i hope the drummers remember there lines dw always goes overboard with there promos always saying that they are inventing things like VLT that type of shells have bin done by sonor since the 60s. The jazz line is a Gretsch copy i could go on and on.

    dw is good but they need to stop doing these over the top promos

  • 8:58 derek roddy's uncomfortable face haha

    

  • @DrumWorkshopInc hi dw im wondering if you guys have a specific part for my snare drum i need to replace the part thats on the opposite end of the throw off that holds the other end of the strap for the wires and whats that part called?

    Matthew

  • @matty16222 haha. This almost seems like a joke, but in all seriousness, it's called a "butt plate" and the part number for the standard version is DRSP001CR (CR stands for Chrome). You can get it in all 5 colors (CR, SC-satin chrome, BN-black nickel, BC-black chrome, and GD-gold). But for about the same price, you can get our new 3P (3-position) Butt Plate (which fits on all DW Snares from at least the last 5 years). It's part number is DWSM2158

  • 3:41-3:53!

  • If you haven't noticed yet, DW has added 3 Finish Ply finishes to the choices for Performance series. The existing 5 finishes are now going to be laquered.

  • @SimonVicFirth this is TRUE! We're glad to say Performance Series is now available in 3 Super-Durable and Visually-Stunning FinishPly wraps. You can see them at dwdrums(dot)com/drums/performa­nce

    We will continue to offer the 5 Premium Hand-Sprayed Lacquer finishes we introduced the series with.

  • ya know...

  • DW has some compatition with Pearl cause of the Reference Pure series

  • Thomas Pridgen is still you know.... keeps saying you know... lol.

  • @KaeviNzXD Have you ever watched a Chris Pennie interview? ;)

  • these drummers are great but they ain't played sleisnman drums

  • I ordered the 22" kick, tom/snare pack 3 & 14" FT add-on this week in Ebony Stain. I'm really looking forward to receiving this kit!

  • @09areFish very nice! I love that finish. Congrats on your new kit and thanks for your patience while we cook one up fresh for you :) I know how the anticipation burns.

  • 02:30  ....... wtf did he just say!!!!!!!

  • The way every drumset should sound.

  • Thomas Pridgen, you know ;)

  • @DrumWorkshopInc

    Congratulations! Last Monday I played these drums and I was totally speechless.They sound that awesome.Unbelivable! I have been fan of Tama for a very long time and I was thinking about buying the new Starclassic but after I played these Drums? Not at all. I compared them with the top line sets of more or less all well known Brands (did not found Yamaha) but the DW Performance seemed just laughing about them.I ordered them on Monday right away.Thanks DW for building these Drums!

  • @crossheadmetal Thank YOU for this awesome feedback! We really worked hard to make Performance Series the same quality level as DW Collector's, but a fraction of the price (simply by limiting some custom options). It's great to hear our mission is being accomplished. Congrats on your new DW kit and welcome to the family! What sizes and finish did you choose?

  • @DrumWorkshopInc

    It's "just" a fair feedback to what you guys have done! I appreciate having the possibility to give this directly to you.I went for the full set. 3 rack toms, 2 floor toms,18x22 bass and this phenomenal 6,5x14 snare in white ice. I did not miss more options as the drums are looking beautiful to me and the qualitiy is absolutely on top of the line. I wanted to go for a pure white laquer finish anway. So everything is totally perfect. Thx for picking me up into your great family

  • @crossheadmetal Fantastic! Wow, that sounds like an amazing kit. The White Ice is very special. Has an iridescence to it like that famous high-line Japanese car-maker that rhymes with nexus ;) Indeed, those Performance Snares are probably the highlight of the whole series. 10-Ply all maple HVX does not mess around! Thanks again!

  • hey dw i was just wondering if i get dw tom mounts will the mounts on the pdp x7 toms fir on the tom arm of the dw stm or do i have to channge the mount on the pdp toms

  • @matty16222 Great question. The L-arm for PDP is 10.5mm while DW is 1/2inch. We do offer the ball+L-arm part so that you can put a PDP L-Arm on a DW stand. The 10.5mm ball+L-Arm part number is DWSM99M

    You can order it from any Authorized DW Dealer, or if you live in the US, email JonD@dwdrums.com if you're interested in buying it through our online store.

  • @DrumWorkshopInc um thanks but what i want to know is will pdp toms fit on dw tom clamps?

  • @matty16222 hmmm. For give me, I'm not sure what you mean by "dw tom clamps." This might require a phone call. Feel free to call our Customer Service department at 1-800-45-DRUMS. Are you asking if a PDP tom (with STM) will fit on a DW tom stand? If so, then M5, FS, X7, and Platinum PDP toms made in the last couple years should fit on DW tom stands. But like I described above, the "post" (L-arm) that the tom slides on to is a different size for DW and PDP.

  • @DrumWorkshopInc what i mean by 'dw tom clamp' is the dw double tom mount and i was wondering if the arms of it will fit on the pdp x7 toms

  • @matty16222 If the X7 kit was made in the last couple years, it should fit. If not, you can replace the arms with the PDP arms which are part number DWSM99M

  • Why are the Performance Series Kits discontinued? Are you going to bring them back on the market?
