Frequently Asked Questions

HVX introduces a more controlled resonance, tightening the low-end and adding clarity without sacrificing warmth – a noticeable improvement over previous DW offerings.
The STM mounts demonstrably reduce damping, allowing the shells to vibrate more freely and producing a richer, more sustained tone – you’ll hear the difference immediately.
The lacquer finish, while beautiful, is moderately susceptible to scratches. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and occasional waxing will help protect the finish and maintain its luster.
