DW Design 08"x07" Tom Tom White
Professional music gear - detailed information and where to buy
This DW Design 8x7 tom delivers a surprisingly full sound for its size, thanks to the HVLT construction. It’s a great option for drummers looking for a crisp, articulate tom for smaller kits or those needing a unique, higher-pitched voice within a larger setup – perfect for rock, pop, and even jazz applications where a smaller tom can really shine.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Design Series offers a warmer, more resonant tone, lacking the extreme projection and focused attack of the Collector's Series, which uses more refined shell construction techniques.
While they share the 'True Pitch' design for precise head placement, the lugs themselves are a slightly less ornate finish than those on DW's premium lines.
The 8-ply maple shell provides a respectable thickness for recording; it captures a good amount of detail, but may require careful mic placement to avoid unwanted resonance.
