When he saw the video, he saw that it was made with good quality

The Collector Series drums are fantastic sounding and reflect perfection in build quality. Worth every cent!!

Thanks for your kind words! If there was only one thing we could strive for(besides making quality drums:)) is you having a great time playing on DW's.

Glad we've caught your attention! Defects are found through inspection. Although it looked quick like, this operator has been doing this for while now and knows what he's looking for. Performance get the same treatment as the Collector's series in the manufacturing process aside from the note being stamped on the inside of the shell. We can color and tone match no problem for add on drums!

Nothing sounds like a DW, they have their own unique tone to them that I cannot find in any other drum out there. Someday I will own one.

DW has the best manufacturing quality and standards hands down.

I dont think anyone who has ever purchased a dw has ever been disappointed... they are a pure work of art

He has been with us since the early 90's.

LOVE my Collectors Maple kit, and enjoyed the tour immensely!

Wow I'm speachless it's so nice to see people so passionate about drums Actualy making them. I was at my local music shop today and gave a couple toms that were on a shelf a good bit they were not tuned yet they clearly were if that makes sense. They sounded exactly as I like my drums to sound. I am very passionate about vintage drums slingerland Rogers leedy WFL Ludwig Gretsch Fibes Premier and my plan was to save and find a Buddy Rich kit. Now I see why almost everyone of the Ol' fellas that used to play those kits now play DW. Needless to say I'm saving my loonies and toonies for a DW and it will be well worth the wait. I already use all DW hard wear so none of this should have surprised me thank you Mr. Good and every one who makes DW possible yous RocK!!

Thursday June 13th 2013. That is the day I've been waiting for for the last 9 years. That is the day that I am visiting the DW factory in Oxnard. I am traveling all the way from Sydney, Australia to do it. To say I'm looking forward to it is an understatement. It will be a dream come true for me. These guys simply make the best drums around today!

Works of art , Just beautiful .... Hard to know what I want with soooo many choices to choose from.

There are 3 drum makers that I want to play in the future: Pearl, Yamaha and DW. Though I want to play Pearl or Yamaha, this tour gained my respect for DW! Great narration from John Good! Now I really wanted a big setup (22x18 bass, 14x6.5 steel snare, 6x8, 8x8, 10x8, 12x9, 13x10, 14x11, 16x16 and 18x16 toms) as my dream configuration. Don't forget the tom mounts! DW rocks along with Pearl and Yamaha!😎😎😎

Thanks for the love, Kyle.

I had the great fortune of taking the factory tour in 2000 in Oxnard and at the age of 16 got my Collectors series kit a few months later. These are truly magical drums.

I have owned my Collectors Series kit since 2000! It still looks brand new and sounds amazing! People can't believe they are 13 years old, and II play out every weekend! I just ordered a new All Cherry wood kit!!! Cannot wait! Anyone who reads this, do yourself a favor....buy DW!!!!They are the most beautiful drums on the face of the planet!

Ok, yep.... that was cool...Quality workmanship going on all around that building...a good promo idea as well 'cuz, I'm sold!

Awesome tour! I've watched the Zildjian factory tour, and I thought that was cool, but this blows that out if the water!

We did! What an attic that is. Thanks for supporting DW! Everyone should have an attic like you. :)

We are here to assist you in your fun times with drumming. Hopefully you having even more fun now that you have your new Solid Stave Snare. Thanks for choosing DW!

you're doing a great job, be proud!

Hope they pay their workers well. They work their asses off and make quality stuff

Thanks so much Chuck! We are flattered you are choosing DW! The deepest Rata tom or octoban style tom we offer is 18 inches. We hope this can work for you and of course we can match them to the rest of your kit!

Thanks for watching! We appreciate your kind words and support!

I have a Collector's Series Tobacco Fade kit that I love. 22", 10", 12", 14", 16". Shipped the 12" back to DW and had them make the 14" for me. And I SWEAR I am actually considering getting a 6", 8", and a 13" to match. I gig with them and then don't have a single blessed scratch. Also, if you get a chance to go to Oxnard, they are the nicest group of people. I was late getting there (CA traffic!) and one of their guys stayed and spent a bit of time with me walking me around...he didn't have to do it, he wanted to do it as he knew my guys at the Memphis Drum Shop! Small, small world. Thanks DW.

I'm not a fan of DW drums/snares. I have owned them, sold them, bought them but I've never heard or played a kit or snare that works for me. I do however LOVE their hardware. Can't fault it. I own lots of it. Aside from the fact DW drums don't work sonically for me personally...there's no denying that DW's quality control, manufacturing process and workmanship is top notch! I think DW are a fantastic company.

That's fair. Never played their drums (always had Pearl Exports). I had some DW5000s like 30 years ago. The ones with the plates. Excellent pedals. I don't recall seeing actual drums made by them until years later. Based on the pedals, I assumed the drums themselves would likely be top shelf.

THE video on how to make perfect drums.

Our pleasure!! We appreciate your feedback more then you know!

@millerscapes Wow! Very stoked to hear the space lift off comparison. We are truly happy to have you enjoy this video so much. Have a great weekend!

We would love to have you stop by! Thanks for your kind words!

I play a Collector's now for several years and it's a set I will never get rid off. Love the sound and looks of my DW set. Seeing how it's being made is a real treat.

When did they start putting the labels inside? My kit just had a stamp with a note to tune it to inside. purchased in early 2000's

beautiful stuff!

Bought a Performance shell pack 20", 12", 16" Natural Lacquer and could not be happier. Beautiful looking and even more beautiful sounding. Even my wife walked into my office/studio and said the drums sounded so good!

It's all about the ply wood! We spend our lives obsessed and dedicated to the stuff. I feel really blessed! Love ya DW!

I love my DW set. Had them for 20 years. They have an incredible sound. Warm with plenty of attack. And I’m not even that great at turning, but they still sound awesome.

Wow. Great, GREAT example of what you guys do. I don't think I've ever played a DW kit that didn't sound amazing. And now I see why.

Thanks so much! Thanks for watching!

@phlipdog Thanks so much for watching and appreciating the video. Thanks for being a part of the DW family!

I toured the factory and watched the who process. They really do this, all the way trough. Had lunch with John Goode afterwards and discussed the 40th anniversary shells,, He's very dedicated, very brilliant and makes fantastic product. Worth every penny!

Thanks so much! We are happy you feel that way.

Came on a factory tour in 2009, it was amazing and the room at the end was fantastic, thanks DW.

Thanks for asking! Those heads are the Coated Clear Remo DW heads. They are used for the batter side and are the most popular for our kits that leave the factory. They do not have a control ring separate from the drum they have a coated ring on the head.

Thanks so much! We are very happy you found the video an easy read!

A week ago I brought home a 4 shell pack collectors series kit. I already had the nickel snare. They stayed in the store too long so I had an amazing deal. These went for the price of performers. I am so glad I came across this deal. I tuned them like the John Good tuning video and wow, just wow! Thank you for making such a good sounding drum. I can not wait to take them to my drum recital in a couple months. You guys rock!.

7 years?!? Awesome! Thanks for letting us know. We'll take note of a hardware video tour for you. That is a great idea.

DW is just simply an amazing company! Thank you John Good and the DW family for putting in so much passion when developing your drums and hardware.

Wow! We so appreciate your passionate, kind words. We are very happy to show our drum making process. We have many great people working hard everyday to build the best possible drums for you and all of our awesome customers. Thanks again!!
