DW Performance Series 4-Piece Shell Pack - Broken Glass Finish Ply

Anniversaries call for something special. The DW Performance Series limited-edition 4-piece shell pack  marks 15 years of this line with the debut of the iconic Broken Glass finish. Handcrafted in DW’s California Custom Shop, the kit features 100% North American maple shells with HVX grain orientation for punch, depth and resonance. The toms and bass drum use 8-ply hard rock maple with 45°/60° back-cut bearing edges, while the 14x6.5" snare adds 10 plies for even greater cut and projection. With STM mounts, turret lugs and graduated counter hoops borrowed from DW’s top Collector’s Series, this kit blends boutique-level detail with the reliability working drummers count on.

Maple Shells Deliver Punch and Low-End Power

Every hit shows why DW’s maple shells are so respected. The HVX grain orientation creates a tight, focused low end while boosting projection and clarity. Toms respond with fast attack and smooth resonance, while the bass drum lays down a solid foundation. Even subtle dynamics come through with accuracy and control.

Eye-Catching Broken Glass Finish

This shell pack's Broken Glass finish shimmers under lights and camera flashes, giving this kit a striking stage presence. Each shell is finished by hand, making every unit unique. Offered in limited quantities for the Performance Series, this finish ensures your kit looks as bold as it sounds.

DW Hardware Refines Tuning and Setup

DW’s hardware is designed for precision. STM suspension tom mounts preserve shell resonance, while quarter-sized turret lugs and True-Pitch rods provide smooth, accurate tuning. Graduated triple-flange counter hoops enhance response, and matching maple bass drum hoops with low-mass claws keep the drum stable without adding weight. These details keep the kit consistent and easy to manage in any setting.

Maple Shells Built to Last

North American hard rock maple shells deliver both durability and tonal character. Each drum is assembled in DW’s California Custom Shop, guaranteeing a tight build and professional finish. Meanwhile, the chrome hardware will withstand years of transport and heavy use. This is a shell pack built to last long after its limited run is gone.
