Last year, when celebration DW's 45th anniversary, the Californian based drum brand came out with the limited Italian Stradivarius Spruce kit that you can see in the video below as well. This was the first hybrid spruce kit that DW ever built. The use of Spruce wood inspired the drum makers to further explore this type of wood in combination with other woods. And there you have it; the Hybrid Spruce Drums with a spruce core and a choice of maple, cherry, or mahogany inner and outer plies.
