The technical specifications for the 18" x 24" DW Performance Series Bass Drum include:

🥁 Shell Construction & Materials

• Shell Material: 100% hand-selected North American Hard Rock Maple

• Ply Design: 8-ply HVX construction. Developed by John Good and the DW Custom Shell Shop, this configuration alternates horizontal, vertical, and diagonal wood grain plies to maximize low-end resonance and punch without requiring reinforcement rings.

• Interior Finish: Expertly sanded and finished with a light layer of tung oil to seal the shell against moisture.

• Exterior Finish: Delmar Wrap FinishPly in Gold Sparkle.

⚙️ Hardware & Components

• Lugs: Chrome proprietary Quarter Turret Lugs (roughly 25% smaller than the classic Collector’s Series turret lugs).

• Tension Rods: True-Pitch tuning system featuring a tighter thread pitch (30% more threads per inch) for highly precise micro-tuning.

• Bearing Edges: 60-degree back-cut bearing edges, optimized specifically for bass drums to yield a balance of modern attack, depth, and punch.

• Claw Hooks: Low-mass die-cast chrome claws with integrated rubber gaskets to prevent metal-on-wood contact and protect the hoops.

• Hoops: Matching all-maple wood hoops.

• Spurs: Heavy-duty, non-slip telescoping bass drum spurs.

📦 Factory Heads & Dimensions

• Depth x Diameter: 18" x 24"

• Stock Heads: Custom clear-coated heads manufactured by Remo USA.
