DW DRUMS | CDE Exclusive Performance Series Confetti Sparkle
Get Performance Series Drum Kits & Snares in DW’s Most Colorful Finish Option Available—ONLY at Chicago Drum Exchange!
If a finish that glitters is as good as gold to you, then take a look at the DW Performance Series drums in our color-blasted Confetti Sparkle finish—now available exclusively at Chicago Drum Exchange!
Handbuilt in California, our CDE Exclusive Performance Series drum kits and snares boast the brand-new HVX shell technology devised by John Good and his team at the DW Custom Shell Shop, wrapped in DW’s ultra-durable FinishPly finish option, featuring our favorite color.
Performance-Built w/ Proprietary DW Hardware
Combining the latest grain orientation technology and hand-selected North American Hard Rock Maple, DW’s HVX grain orientation arranges wood plies horizontally, vertically, and diagonally to deliver a low, punchy fundamental, while heat forming/cool tempering enhances shell strength and roundness, providing loads of resonance and projection that's perfectly suited for live applications.
Custom-inspired and handcrafted alongside DW’s renowned Collector’s Series drums, DW Performance Series drums feature the same reduced-size Quarter Turret lugs, offering a sleek, modern appearance, plus Graduated Counter Hoops, weighted per each shell size.

All Performance Series drums’ superior-sounding HVX shells come equipped with DW heads by Remo USA, STM (Suspension Tom Mounts), True Pitch tension rods to maximize tuning accuracy, and DW 45-degree back-cut bearing edges.
