Deliver powerful low-end and professional tone with the DW Performance Series 18x22 Bass Drum in Natural Lacquer. Inspired by DW’s custom series, this bass drum features hand-selected North American Hard Rock Maple with proprietary HVX shell construction, providing a low, punchy fundamental and rich resonance with projection perfect for live performance and studio recording.
Engineered for superior playability, the 18x22 Bass Drum includes DW 45° back-cut bearing edges, TruePitch fine-threaded tension rods, and reduced Quarter Turret lugs for precise tuning and a sleek, modern aesthetic. Low-mass die-cast claw hooks and matching maple hoops deliver a warmer, rounder tone, while the robust construction ensures durability and stability for any performance environment.
Choose from Natural Lacquer, hand-sprayed Specialty Lacquer, Tobacco Satin Oil, or ultra-durable FinishPly options, all crafted to stand out visually while maintaining the authentic DW tone. With DW heads by Remo USA and professional-grade hardware, the Performance Series 18x22 Bass Drum brings the quality, reliability, and craftsmanship of DW’s California Custom Shell Shop to your drum kit at an accessible price.
