DW Collector’s Test Drive #2 - Maple / Mahogany

Young, successful, Polish drummer Wojtek Deregowski faces an exciting challenge. While looking for a new drum kit, he received four different sets from DW Drums to try out. This is the story of his journey through DW COLLECTOR’S finest sounds...

Ok, time to get serious. Here we go! Wojtek's first stop on this journey is the DW Collector’s Kit with Maple / Mahogany shells and a Lacquer Custom finish. A beautiful set but what about the sound?

Our young, gifted drummer tries out all he can get out of these drums. How does it work right out of the box? How does it react in all tunings from very high to veeeery low and everything in between?
Besides everything about sound and tuning, there will be a lot of amazing drumming. Enjoy!

Wojtek uses the direct camera mics, raw mic sound and mixed mic sound for you to get the best impression of this drum kit.
