DW SSC Collectors Series 4-Piece Satin Oil Shell Pack With 22″ Bass Drum Black Ice Chrome Hardware

The DW SSC Collector’s Series 4-Piece Shell Pack Black Velvet Chrome Hardware is DW’s flagship line of premium, handcrafted drums. Featuring DW’s state-of-the-art shell technology and components, this customizable shell pack is perfect for drummers seeking a pro-level set with studio-quality sound. The SSC in its name stands for Specialized Shell Configuration, representing over a decade of DW’s acoustic innovations and the ability to customize nearly every aspect. This particular shell pack includes rack toms of 8×10″ and 9×12″, a 16×14″ floor tom, and 18×22″ kick drum.

Specialized Shells Provide Unparalleled Tone

The shell pack’s tone is generated by DW’s specialized shell technologies: Vertical Low Timbre (VLT) rack toms with grain orientation for minimal shell tension and maximum resonance; X-Shell floor toms with revolutionary vertical cross-lamination for depth and projection; and bass drums with optimal ply thickness for punch and warmth. The result is a full, nuanced sound with clearly articulated notes across the tuning range.

Suspension Mounting System Improves Articulation

DW’s patented Suspension Tom Mount (STM) system allows each drum to vibrate independently by suspending the toms from the bass drum, rather than attaching them directly. This reduces choking for superior tone and the most articulate playing response. The STM also provides maximum positioning flexibility so drummers can achieve their optimal set-up.

True-Pitch Tuning System Enables Precision

DW’s True-Pitch tuning system uses threaded tension rods with 20% more threads than standard rods for the most precise tuning possible. Drummers can achieve exact pitches and intervals between drums for accurate, professional results. The fine-tuned tension control also allows drummers to customize the overall pitch level and timbre of the set to their preferences.

Premium Chrome Hardware and Timeless Esthetic

This Collector’s Series shell pack features triple-flanged hoops, low-mass lugs, and premium chrome drum hardware for durability, functionality and a classic appearance. The elegant yet minimal Black Velvet finish showcases the wood grain for an upscale yet understated look ideal for any performance setting. Overall, this set delivers the premium components, innovative features and customized options that define DW’s Collector’s Series drums.
