Frequently Asked Questions

HVX birch is DW’s proprietary blend, aiming for a more resonant and responsive tone than standard birch – a bit more 'open' and lively.
Yes, DW's manufacturing tolerances are extremely tight, ensuring consistent bearing edges for even response and tuning across the toms and kick.
The satin oil finish is quite durable, but requires occasional cleaning and re-oiling to maintain its luster and protect the wood – a small price for the aesthetic and tonal benefits.
