"We didn’t want to sacrifice sound for portability. It was very important for us to make sure that this was a recording-quality drum kit that was also perfect for the working drummer. We also created a single arm ratchet bass drum mount and low-mass spurs to minimize the weight. We're getting a lot of positive feedback from professional drummers and working drummers alike. I simply like it because it's fun to play."
DW Executive Vice President and Drum Designer, John Good, continues by stating that it was really important to the company that this kit sounded like any other studio-quality DW kit:
"It needed to be professional in every way. We didn’t want this to be a kit that was scaled-back for weight and just sounded okay. Our shell technology is what really made this happen. HVLT shells are perfect for these sizes and they make these drums sound huge!"
