The PDP Concept Maple 22" CM7 7pc Shell Pack offers a foundation setup that can be finished with the hardware and cymbals of your choice and expanded with add-on drums and holders if you choose. When paired with high-quality cymbals and hardware, the PDP Concept Maple CM7 shell pack provides a superb experience for drummers of any level, offering the high-quality components and features which professional drummers require.
Maple has been a favourite drum shell wood of both drum manufacturers and players for a long time. Its boosted low end and smooth mids and highs help it sit well in just about any style of music. Because of this, you often find maple being used in very high-end kits and being used by some very well-respected players.
The toms featured on the PDP Concept Maple 22" CM7 7pc Shell Pack feature graduated chrome counter hoops, meaning the smaller drums on the kit feature thinner hoops, allowing them to resonate further and more freely to produce far richer tones. The PDP Concept Maple 22" CM7 7pc Shell Pack also features DW's STM (Suspension Tom Mount) system which allows the toms to resonate independently without any muting from hardware to shell contact. In order to provide drummers with even more control over their own sound, DW has created its True-Pitch rod system. The rods feature 5mm threads instead of the standard 12mm or 24mm threads that are on most other drum kits. This allows the PDP Concept Maple 22" CM7 7pc Shell Pack to be tuned far more accurately, allowing you to ascertain the perfect tone from your kit.
The snare drum is a 10-ply snare, rather than the more traditional 7 ply, producing a chunkier, thicker sound that is perfect for adding a different characteristic to your play style. The snare also features 10 double ended lugs for maximum tuning stability even under heavy and intense playing.
