The innovation continues with the introduction of ddrum’s Limited Edition “10th Anniversary” Kit - a drumset distinguished by custom features traditionally found only on the most expensive of custom sets. Using Hybrid Shell Technology, ddrum has combined the look and tone of maple, with the “earth-shaking” low end and tunability of alder. The Anniversary kit also features tube lugs for a small shell footprint combined with our Fixtpitch mounting system for a clean streamlined look and maximum resonance. Stability enhancing reso lifts allow the 20x22 Anniversary Kit When we began the conception of the new Anniversary kit, we wanted to make sure we incorporated some 20x22 bass drum to sing at its full note, as well as keeping of our innovations from the previous 10 years. We started with the shell we are no stranger to, offering the finish from being scratched on the floor. Rounding out 7x10 8x12 hybrid wood shells, and the new Maple/Alder shell is the ultimate realization of those efforts. Alder the kit are shallow rack and floor toms - popular features provides a warm mid-low punch and the outer plies of maple add a nice snap to the top end. The lug design is reminiscent of our Dios series. Low mass, sturdy and classy. To mount the drums, we turned to our introduced by ddrum on earlier kits. The 10th Anniversary 13x14 Kit is finished in classic ddrum colors - red sparkle to black proprietary Fixtpitch system, also utilizing our Resolifts for ultimate bass drum tone and isolation from burst with black nickel hardware. Availability is limited to the floor. Speaking of the bass drum, the ddrum original, a massive 20x22 kick for the ultimate in look only 50 kits with numbered certificate included. 14x16 and projection! For ease of tuning, we incorporated die-cast hoops, a nod to the Dominion series. This drum set is the sum of all the places we have been, with an eye toward where we are going next! configuration details drum shell plies shell thickness hoop bearing edge hardware tone toms maple/alder two outer maple / four inner alder 7mm die cast 30 degree outer/ 45 inner ddrum tube lug & Fixtpitch suspension mount mid to high: excellent projection & resonance bass drum maple/alder two outer maple / six inner alder 8mm maple 30 degree outer/ 45 inner ddrum tube lug, die cast drum claws & Resolifts resonant with enhanced low end Limited to 50 kits Featuring a Dios style 45 Worldwide degree inner bearing edge featuring an with a 30 degree outer cut individually numbered for maximum shell and head certificate. interaction. 5 Resolift included *Die cast tube lug & claw *Hand rubbed lacquer finish *Thin 6ply tom & 8ply bass shells finish options usa satin black usa amber usa satin red usa satin natural usa amber *Cymbals & Hardware sold separately Available Add-on drums usa satin red - Rack Toms: 7x8, 10x13 - Floor Toms: 14x14, 16x18 standardNEW! - Bass Drum: 18x22, 16x24 usaThe prestige of our USA custom series, in a streamlined package!
