DW Drums, Electrified
Designed and manufactured in the DW Drums factory in California, DWe platforms are built using handcrafted acoustic shells and a proprietary wireless ecosystem, letting drummers decide how they want to play given any situation.
Leveraging five decades of American-made craftsmanship and innovation, DWe offers the same premium quality you expect from Drum Workshop and can be played as a Pure Maple acoustic drum set. Or, DWe can be played as a completely wireless electronic kit!


Wireless Percussion Made Simple
DWe drums are ready to play straight out of the box with no wires or cables required. Just sit down and play to connect your drums to your included wireless DrumLink hub that connects to your computer or audio interface.
Powered by the included DW Soundworks software, DWe drums connect to your computer through a low-latency wireless connection via the provided DrumLink USB hub. Connect DW Soundworks to any DAW, provide multi-channel outputs, or hook it up to your favorite module. Whatever way you connect to DW Soundworks, this proprietary software provides complete sound customization and creation using advanced trigger settings and editing capabilities, providing up to 18 layers of multi-articulation definition per instrument.

It may not be the first thing you see when you walk into Chicago Music Exchange but, tucked in the back corner of our store—past the counter, the wall of Les Pauls, and the Gibson thinlines on the left—you’ll find a pair of French doors that open up to our Acoustic Room. Walk in and you’ll find yourself a humidity-/temperature-controlled room, which is essentially a walk-in humidor full of all the six-string (at times, 12-string) acoustic instruments we have, from the most sought-after brands our customers love and are always looking for—all of which can be perused at a glance with one swivel of the head.
