Thinking of getting a DW Performance series kit. Any thoughts?

Chrome Shadow. I didn't really have an option, but I like it enough.

Looks fantastic in the photos I have seen.

Well, I pulled the trigger and bought a 13/16/24 setup. I will try the stock heads and see if I like them, if not I have aquarian response 2 coated or clear emperors to use instead.

Hopefully I will really enjoy these.

Regarding the stock heads, what I hear when using those is the reso head "note" seems about the same volume as the overall fundamental note. A very interesting sound.

Congrats! I'm pretty sure that you will like them. North American maple, graduated hoops, STM mounts, True-Pitch tuning rods - it all adds up to a very satisfying experience.

It's easy to harbour a "meh" attitude towards DW then you get a kit for yourself and suddenly you're in the "okay - I get it now!" camp.

Now I just need to get another snare in addition to my Gretsch COB 5X14. It never ends!

I say play the set for a bit and decide what kind of snare sound you wanna pair with em.
Post your thoughts on the dee dubs once you’ve played em!
