Frequently Asked Questions About DW

DW drums are primarily manufactured in their Oxnard, California facility, with some component sourcing from overseas to ensure optimal materials.

DW originally bypassed traditional retail channels, allowing customers to order directly from the factory, fostering a close relationship and enabling extensive customization.

The Magnum-Hoop IIs are designed to enhance resonance and projection by providing a more consistent bearing edge, improving the drum's overall tone and sensitivity.
