DW's exclusive 9-ply 333 shell layup gives this flagship Collector's Series maple shell pack a breathtaking low-end response. This means deeper, punchier toms and a pair of kick drums that envelop the listener as well as the player. The Collector's Series 333 Maple shell pack looks smashing in its Delmar-sourced FinishPly wraps, which supply tour-grade good looks anywhere you play out. You also get a full outfit of Collector's Series hardware ? graduated True-Hoops, high-thread True-Pitch 50 tension screws, and tone-enhancing tom legs and mounts ? for road-ready durability and precision performance. The DW Collector's Series 333 Maple shell pack is the result of more than a decade of DW Custom Shop shell technology and serves as a prime example of DW's shell/hardware innovations and glamorous finishing options. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information about this eye-catching, deluxe-sounding work of art from DW's master builders.





333 shell layup





Nine staggered short and long plies of select hard rock maple endow the shells of this beautiful Collector's Series 333 shell pack with ample low end and a deep, singing tone. The 333 maple construction alleviates tension on the shell, thereby maximizing punch and bass response.
