DW 08"x07" TT Performance Ebony
Professional music gear - detailed information and where to buy
This little 8-inch tom from DW is a real gem. The maple shell and HVX construction give it a surprisingly deep and resonant tone that cuts through a mix. It's a great option for drummers looking for a focused, articulate sound in a smaller tom, or to add some character to a larger kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Ebony finish naturally dampens the shell slightly, producing a warmer, more controlled tone with a bit less sustain.
DW’s standard tom mount uses a universal size, but you might need an adapter depending on the specific hardware you’re using.
It excels in genres like jazz, blues, and vintage rock, where a focused and articulate tom sound is desired, but can also be effective as a unique voice in a modern kit.
