Drum Workshop (also known as DW Drums or DW) is an American drum kit and hardware manufacturing company based in Oxnard, California. Edit: but I think if you e-mail dw with serial numbers, they should be able to tell you the date of manufacture. Good playing can hide a crappy drumset, but even the best drumset can't hide crappy playing. Mar 27, 2014 As for the Serial numbers, we do not have record of those in our system. Those are for you incase you want to insure your drums. I hope this was helpful. Best regards, Mark Chavez Customer Service Representative Drum Workshop Inc. I had a very fast. Since DW customer support never answers emails or inquiries (I speak from experience), how can one find out the details of a DW serial number? I just bought a 5 piece kit from someone on ebay who knew nothing about his drums other than the color and approximate size, but he did give me a serial number off one of the toms > Serial number = 110967.

History[edit]
Drum Workshop was founded in 1972 as a teaching studio by Don Lombardi. It originally offered private lessons and the occasional workshop. Lombardi, along with student (and current Senior Executive Vice President) John Good, began a small drum equipment sales operation to cover the facility's operation costs.
This operation soon created the first-ever DW product: The height-adjustable trap seat, which was envisioned by Lombardi. The demand became so great that, after accepting an offer to purchase all of Camco's manufacturing equipment, the primary focus of the DW operation became drum hardware manufacturing. DW's Camco origins can be seen on their drums today. Following this, the next big product introduced by DW was the 5000 series nylon strap bass drum pedal. This pedal was soon joined by the double bass pedal, the rotating-base, and cable remote hi-hat stands.
Expansion, acquisition and new methods[edit]
DW expanded into larger facilities in Oxnard, California, and grew to oversee a new company, Pacific Drums and Percussion,[3] a company offering lower-priced drumsets.
DW pioneered[citation needed] the timbre-matching technique of grouping a set of drumshells together by listening to the note each shell holds before it is sanded. Each shell produced by the Oxnard DW factory is stamped with the note of that shell on the interior.
For a brief period, DW opened a facility in Ensenada, Mexico, to manufacture its drums and at the same time DW entered the drumstick market with the '3' drumstick lineup. The '3' drumstick lineup was unique; that they included three drumsticks in their offering, unlike other manufacturers that sold pairs of two. When DW closed operation at Ensenada facility they ceased the drumstick line.
In 2015, Drum Workshop Inc acquired and licensed American music instrument brands Gretsch Drums, Ovation Guitars, Latin Percussion, Toca Percussion, Gibraltar Hardware and KAT Technologies.[4]

Most of DW's drums can be custom-ordered to suit the customer's needs in any of DW's Custom Shops.[citation needed] Unique to DW's drum kits are its True-Pitch tuning rods (tension rods with finer threads), DW's Coated/Clear drumheads made by Remo, STM tom mounts, and Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC), which allows the customer to choose between X, VLT (Vertical Low Timbre), or VLX shells for a unique sound.
Speciality drums[edit]
X mirage mac keygen program. DW offers a special line of drums that are very different from 'standard' drums and are generally used in situations which call for a new sound.
- Cocktail Kit – This drum kit combines the use of DogBone clamps, smaller drum sizes, and the Sidekick offset pedal in order to greatly reduce the size of the kit. With shallow toms and the bass drum pedal operating on the floor tom lower head, this 4-piece kit plays like a 5-piece and takes up the space of a 2-piece.
- Gong Drum – A large single-headed 10-ply maple drum with a 21' or 23' diameter mounted on a stand and intended to be struck with a drumstick. It aims for a sound between a tom and a bass drum.
- Woofer – An 8' deep by 18' to 28' wide drum mounted in front of the bass drum. It amplifies the low-end punch of the bass drum and includes a pre-installed AKG D112BD internal mic.
- Piccolo Toms – 2.5' deep steel toms available in 8', 10', and 12' diameters.
- Rata Toms – Similar to octobans, single headed toms made from North American maple with a 6' diameter and varying depth options. It produces a loud crack.[7]

All DW snares come standard with True-Tone snare wires, 3.0mm True-Hoops, Remo batter/resonant heads and True-Pitch Tension Rods.

Most of DW's hardware feature its patented 'TechLock' on their cymbal stands, which uses a drum key to lock the cymbal tilters in place, preventing slippage. Also unique to DW is the development of the DogBone system, which minimizes the use of multiple cymbal stands. They have also developed hardware for percussion instruments as well as a rack system.
