Concept Maple Rack Tom with Chrome Hardware

PDP Concept Series maple drums deliver one of the most common requests among drummers—maple shells with premium hardware, a quality finish and a price that doesn't feel inflated. Thanks to research assistance from DW Custom Shop, the shells are built to high-end standards that professionals can trust. In keeping with PDP's reputation for value, the kit is also accessible to serious students who want a kit that will be ready when they get their dream gig. In addition to complete shell packs, PDP has made these rack toms available individually, so drummers can augment their setup to meet their needs.

At the heart of each Concept Series drum is a seven-ply European maple shell. Maple drums are renowned worldwide for the deep, resonant sound that appears on countless studio albums. From there, the shells are kitted out with tons of features developed for high-end DW drums. The True Pitch tension rods are crafted for precise, even tuning across the head. Rack toms are fitted with DW's proprietary mounting hardware (L-rods and clamps sold separately). But it's not all about DW—this drum wears PDP with pride, in part thanks to the throwback dual-turret lugs. The Concept Series honors the company's DW roots while leaning into PDP's own original style.
