DW Collector's 333 Maple SSC 3-Piece Shell Pack - Emerald Satin Oil

A Work of Art - The DW Collector's 333 Maple SSC 3-Piece Shell Pack - Emerald Satin OilThe most popular wood for drum making, maple is a hardwood that produces maximum resonance, projection, and attack. Combined with reinforcement hoops, it can produce a more focused sound and is well-suited for live and studio applications. The direction of the grain within a shell's composition contributes greatly to its sonic characteristics. This is the basis of DW’s patented grain orientation technology. Both long and short-grain veneers have been proven to influence pitch and can be manipulated to create a wider pitch range within a set of drums and boost low-end response.333 and SSCAlterations in grain direction greatly influence sound. In a VLT (Verticle Low Timbre) shell, the outermost and innermost plies run vertically, rather than a traditionally horizontal configuration. The vertical grain places less tension on the shell, thus allowing it to vibrate more freely, resulting in a lower funda
