What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Remarkable acoustic shells





Despite its impeccable electronic playability, the DWe is an all-out, top-shelf DW acoustic shell pack at heart. Plied nine times with premium and punchy maple, each shell in this 5-piece pack offers that enviable, versatile, and iconic tone that drummers cherish. Included in this pack are both 8- x 10-inch and 9- x 12-inch mounted toms, a 14- x 16-inch floor tom, 16- x 22-inch bass drum, and 6.5- x 14-inch snare drum, all treated to an expert assortment of DW’s handsome and chrome-plated turret lugs and triple-flanged hoops. Jazz? Rock? Pop? Metal? Why stop there? This maple-plied beauty will handle virtually any genre with confidence.





First-class electronic operation





With a fast and easy drumhead switch, the DWe transforms from legendary acoustic tones to expressive and explorative digital ones. The included electronic drumheads use incomparable and wireless connections to translate your percussive signals into the instrument sounds of your choosing with quick, low-latency firing. A simple swap-out will have you dialing in your dream DW tones in no time.





How, you ask? DW made sure to set you up right from the get-go with an included license for DW Soundworks. This extensive library for drums and cymbals provides players an all-access pass for not only selecting the percussion that best suits the occasion, but also for sculpting and shaping the nuances of each puzzle piece with extra-satisfactory precision. Run the software from your computer, and you have myriad sounds and settings at your fingertips.
