DW 08"x07" TT Performance Diamond
Professional music gear - detailed information and where to buy
This little DW tom packs a serious punch for its size. The maple construction gives it a warm, focused tone that cuts through a mix, and the STM mount really lets it sing. It's a great addition for drummers needing a crisp, articulate accent tom, especially in smaller kits or for focused, layered sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
The STM is a significant upgrade, isolating the shell much better and allowing for far more natural resonance than older DW mounting systems – it’s a real game-changer.
The wrap finish is reasonably durable, but like all wraps, it’s susceptible to small chips and scratches with heavy impact or aggressive stick techniques. Careful handling extends its lifespan.
Absolutely, its focused tone makes it a fantastic rack tom, especially if you're looking for a distinct character separate from your floor toms. It’ll provide a bright, articulate layer.
