PDP Concept Series maple shell packs deliver one of the most common requests among drummers—a maple drum kit with premium hardware a quality finish and a price that doesn t feel inflated. This combination means the Concept Series appeals to any kind of player. Thanks to research assistance from DW Custom Shop the shells are built to high-end standards that professionals can trust. In keeping with PDP s reputation for value the kit is also accessible to serious students who want a kit that will be ready when they get their dream gig. At the heart of each drum is a European maple shell—seven plies for the toms and kick 10 for the snare. Maple drums are renowned worldwide for the deep resonant sound that appears on countless studio albums. From there the shells are kitted out with tons of features developed for high-end DW drums. The True Pitch tension rods are crafted for precise even tuning across the head. The rack toms are suspended on the bass drum with DW s proprietary mounting hardware. Concept Series snare drums all feature the trusted MAG throw-off and premium steel carbon snare wires with brass end plates. To minimize weight the floor toms sit on aluminum legs and the bass drum features die-cast claw hooks. But it s not all about DW—this kit wears PDP with pride in part thanks to the throwback dual-turret lugs. The Concept Series honors the company s DW roots while leaning into PDP s own original style.
