The future feels familiar.

DWe blends handcrafted DW shells with patented wireless technology and multi-ply Roland mesh heads for an authentic playing experience.

Pure Maple, authentic tone.

Every DWe shell is crafted from nine plies of Pure North American Hard Rock Maple in a patented 333™ shell construction. Each shell is fitted with resonant heads and produces a low-volume tone.

DWe is designed and manufactured in the DW Drums factory in California. Leveraging over five decades of American-made craftsmanship and innovation, DWe delivers the same quality you expect from Drum Workshop.

Natural playability.

Intuitive features, such as a digiMag snare throw-off, pitch-bend capabilities, and 360-degree playing surfaces on cymbals, make DWe the most natural-playing electronic kit you've ever experienced.​

Acoustic Drum Features

Crafted from a 333 Pure Maple Shell, DWe drums leverage DW's acoustic innovation refined over the past five decades.

Acoustic-Electronic Convertible

DWe Drums feature authentic acoustic shells that can be converted from electronic by simply removing the DWe trigger star plates with drum key screws and changing the batter side drum heads from mesh to the included mylar heads.

Pure Maple Shell Construction

DWe e33 Series™ shells are handcrafted from 100% North American Hard Rock Maple. These drums are built with DW’s patented 333 technique, which features Maple plies with grains oriented in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal (X-shell) patterns to deliver low, punchy fundamentals.

Made in the U.S.A.

All DWe e33 Series™ drums are designed and manufactured in Oxnard, California, USA.
