Tony Royster Jr. - DW Performance Series

Witness Tony Royster Jr.'s first experience playing on the all-new DW Performance Series.

This kit features the Cherry Stain finish.

The drums sizes in this video are:
8x10" Tom-Tom (8-ply HVX)
9x12" (8-ply HVX)
14x16" (8-ply HVX)
5.5x14" SNARE (10-ply HVX)
18x22" Bass Drum (8-ply HVX)

This is a DW drumset in every way. No detail has been overlooked, no corners have been cut. Its look and sound are decidedly DW. Custom-inspired, with a new Quarter Turret lug, low mass die-cast claw hook, new badge, logo head and hand-sprayed Specialty Lacquer finishes, it's designed to get noticed and most importantly, Performance sounds like what you'd expect from DW. Easy to tune, superior sounding HVX shells, along with DW heads by Remo USA, STM™ (Suspension Tom Mounts), True Pitch™ Tuning and DW 45 degree back-cut bearing edges, all make these drums sing.

The cymbals on this kit are all Zildjian (Tony endorses Sabian):
from overhead left to right (clockwise)
14" K Custom Dark Hats
16" K Custom Dark Crash
17" A Custom ReZo Crash
18" K Custom Dark Crash
20" A Armand Ride
18" K Custom Hybrid Crash

Tony is an inspiration to all drummers in all fields of music !

Hi DW! Can you give any suggestions for a snare configuration (I mean SSC, depth size, etc.) that gives a very high sound, with not too much sustain, no buzz, not "airy", no fatness and no warmth, very tight and clean?, maybe with 13" of diameter? Please, I would thank any suggestion!

does any one else think this kit doesnt really sound good? i mean personally i wouldnt buy this from if thats the sound im gonna get, he's an amazing drummer for sure, but that kit doesnt do him justice, specially the floor tom, sounds TERRIBLE!! my opinion.
