Offered here is a complete 6-piece early DW shell pack, made in the USA in DW's early California production era.This is one of the early DW configurations featuring the highly recognizable “A Quality Instrument” badges, maple shells with reinforcement rings and the original-style RIMS tom suspension system.These early DW drums are particularly interesting to collectors because they come from the period before DW evolved into the modern Collector's Series construction and suspension systems.SHELL PACK22" x 16" Bass Drum8" x 8" Tom10" x 9" Tom12" x 10" Tom14" x 12" Tom16" x 14" Floor TomShell construction: 6-ply maple with reinforcement ringsFinish: Natural Gloss LacquerMade in USA — CaliforniaVintage RIMS suspension systemYamaha-style tom mounting systemTom holder includedORIGINAL DW “A QUALITY INSTRUMENT” BADGESAll drums feature the early “A Quality Instrument” DW badges characteristic of this early production period.Serial numbers:22 x 16 undrilled Bass Drum — A076538" x 8" Tom — A0766210" x 9" Tom — A0781612" x 10" Tom — A0765214" x 12" Tom — A0765116" x 14" Floor Tom — A07650The matching serial-number sequence across the toms makes this an especially coherent and desirable set.CONDITION — 9.8/10The condition is exceptional for a vintage DW kit of this age.The original natural gloss lacquer remains extremely clean and presents beautifully under light.
