Frequently Asked Questions

The Satin Oil finish is softer than lacquer, offering a unique feel but requiring more careful handling to prevent scratches or marks. It’s not inherently less durable, just more prone to showing wear.
SSC, or Shell Selection Consistency, involves DW's meticulous analysis of each shell's fundamental tone, ensuring they're paired to create a balanced and harmonically cohesive kit.
DW's Collector's Series legacy and the SSC process give this kit a refined tonal character and consistency often absent in other maple kits, plus the STM mounts are a noticeable upgrade.
