Item: DW Collector's Maple 333 Regal to Royal Blue Burst Drum Set - SO#1448301 - Maple 333 Shells - Regal to Royal Blue Burst Lacquer Specialty - No Re-rings - Chrome Hardware Sizes: - 18x22 (C#) - 8x10 (E) - 9x12 (C) - 14x16 (B) Info: The most popular wood for drum making, maple is a hardwood that produces maximum resonance, projection and attack. Combined with reinforcement hoops, it can produce a more focused sound and is well suited for live and studio applications. Alterations in grain direction greatly influence sound. In a VLT™ shell, the outermost and innermost plies run vertically, rather than a traditionally horizontal configuration. The vertical grain places less tension on the shell, thus allowing it to vibrate more freely, resulting in a lower fundamental pitch. From VLT technology, 333 was born. This 9-ply VLT evolution also has no reinforcement hoops and produces a lower overall tone while still maintaining maximum resonance and attack. 333™ shells are available only in Collector's Series® Pure Maple. This listing is for the drum shell pack only. Stands in photos sold separately. Condition: This is a brand new kit in its original boxes. These drums were briefly removed from their packaging for a quick photo shoot, then resealed in their original factory boxes.
