DW announces the Design Series Limited Mapa Burl over European Birch, a new shell-pack that brings DW’s exotic aesthetics to the accessible, custom-inspired Design Series lineup.
Available for the first time with DW exotic woods, this limited Design Series release pairs a highly figured Mapa Burl veneers over 8-ply European Birch shells crafted with DW’s patented HVLT™ grain-orientation technology. The result is a responsive, stage- and studio-ready tonality with ample attack, focused projection, and controlled resonance suited to a wide range of playing styles.
Designed with pro-level appointments throughout, these Mapa Burl over Birch drums feature low-mass mini turret lugs, graduated triple-flange hoops, STM™ Suspension Tom Mounts, True-Pitch® Tuning, and Remo® heads. A natural matte lacquer finish gives the kit a sophisticated look that’s tailor-made for stage or studio.
