This Collector's Series Amber kit is a serious statement. The maple construction delivers a classic, warm tone with DW's renowned attack, and the X-shell design really boosts the low-end thump. It's ideal for players seeking a high-end, professional sound and a beautiful aesthetic – particularly suited for studio work and demanding live performances.

  • Colour: Amber
  • Nickel-plated hardware
  • Matt lacquered shells
  • 100% Maple/Maple wood with reinforcement ring for a longer more controlled decay of the shell
  • The VLT vertical grain design of the toms puts less tension on the shell but allows free vibration which is reflected in a deeper tunable full sound
  • The X-shell design of the stand tom and bass drum gives a huge
  • full drum sound and also a fundamental
  • down to earth low end which takes the bass drum sound to unimagined depths
  • The sound of all shells consists of a flattering warm fundamental tone and the same attack sound the DW Collector's series is famous for
  • The sound of maple captivates
  • with its soft warm balanced resonance yet clear and always controlled stick attack
  • Chrome hardware
  • STM Suspension Tom Mount (free-swinging mounting system for a vibration-free with maximum tone resonance equipped secure hanging tom)
  • True Hoop tension hoops
  • True-Pitch® tension rods
  • All shells are assembled in the "Timbre Matched" process. (The specific fundamental tone of each shell is analysed. The shells are then combined to form a tonally matched set).

PROS
  • • 100% Maple construction delivers DW's signature warm, balanced, and resonant tone.
  • • Vertical Low-Mass (VLT) toms promote exceptional tuning range and vibration.
  • • X-shell design on bass drum and stand tom yields a noticeably powerful, deep low-end.
  • • Satin Oil finish preserves the natural wood character while providing a smooth, tactile feel.
CONS
  • • The weight of a full maple kit with nickel hardware makes for a less portable setup.
  • • Amber stain, while beautiful, can be susceptible to UV fading over extended exposure.
  • • This is a premium-priced kit; a significant investment for most drummers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Satin Oil allows the wood to resonate more freely, resulting in a more open, natural tone with a slightly longer sustain compared to a gloss finish.
Being a natural stain, there will be slight variations in the Amber color between drums, adding to the kit's unique character – it's part of the charm.
The ring primarily controls decay, preventing the drums from sounding 'boomy' and maintaining clarity, especially at higher volumes.
