The DW Design Frequent Flyer Black is a seriously well-made travel kit – the maple shells offer a surprisingly full sound for their size. It's perfect for gigging musicians needing a compact, reliable kit that doesn’t compromise on DW quality, or for students wanting a smaller, manageable drum set. Just be prepared to budget for hardware and cymbals separately.
