HYBRID/GUM SHELLS
At the heart of every DW Jazz Series™ shell is a thick 3-ply gum core. The soft, porous
gumwood offers a warm, round, punchy sound that can be complemented by either the resonant
attack of maple or the musical qualities of mahogany or cherry. These combinations can even
be intermixed within a kit to further customize specific sonic preferences. And unlike
Collector’s Series® or DW Classics™, DW Jazz Series™ drums don’t have
reinforcement hoops, allowing for a more open, less focused sound.
