PDP is a sub-brand of world-renowned drum manufacturer Drum Workshop, and as such, the Concept Classic's hardware components are heavily inspired by DW's finest features. One such inclusion is DW's excellent Tru-Pitch tension rods. With the finest of threads, these ensure maximum tuning accuracy. Meanwhile, the die-cast claw hooks impart a timeless, vintage appeal. Dual-Turret drum lugs offer tonal consistency across all three of your shells. DW's influence on the Concept Classic Shell Pack is unmistakable.
And the hardware features don't stop there. Like only larger drums can, the Concept Classic shells fill the room with their meaty tones and full-bodied response. Of course, it helps to have excellent hardware that brings out the very best of these European maple wood shells. A trio of resonant floor tom legs allows the 16" floor tom to rumble along, with deep low-end and thunderous punch. As for the 12" rack tom, DW's Suspension Tom Mount makes sure it sings with glorious musical zest that cuts right through the mix. Oh, and did we mention the drum heads? A full set of DW-designed Remo heads are included with the Concept Classic. This means awesome drum sounds straight from the box.
When you lay your eyes on the Concept Classic Shell Pack, it's really the natural walnut drum hoops that grab your attention. They create a sumptuous contrast with the magnificent twisted ivory finished shells - themselves very easy on the eye. But these walnut hoops aren't just here for the aesthetic value. They're a key ingredient in the Concept Classic's beefy, floor-shaking sound. They take the already formidable European maple shells and add sprinklings of additional focus and power that amount to one extraordinary drum set.
