Description

A BRAND NEW CONCEPT IN DRUMS IS HERE What if boutique-inspired drums loaded with pro-features were more affordable? What if drummers could get a wide variety of our most popular Custom Shop sizes and colors without breaking the bank? PDP is proud to introduce a new concept, a completely re-imagined line of PDP drums designed for every drummer. It’s called the Concept Series and it has a fresh new look and a sound that already has drummers talking. Choose from Concept Maple or Concept Birch shells in a myriad of today’s most popular configurations. Then, add toms or bass drums to build custom-style kits to suit just about every musical style. Add to that, high-end features like STM (Suspension Tom Mounts), True Pitch tension rods, MAG throw-off, die cast low-mass claw hooks, proportionate counter hoops and durable lacquer finishes, and you have a kit that unquestionably lives up to its DW roots.

STEP UP TO CONCEPT SERIES™ EXOTICS Drum Workshop has become synonymous with custom exotic finishes, while at the same time, PDP Concept Series™ drums have provided drummers with the user-friendly features and build-quality that had previously been reserved for much more expensive boutique sets. New Concept Maple Exotics deliver on both of these promises in a big way. Offered in a 5-piece F.A.S.T. configuration with available 8″ and 14″ add-ons, the all-maple shells are finished in a rich Walnut veneer with glossy Charcoal Burst lacquer. Sizes include an 18×22″ virgin bass drum, 8×10″ and 9×12″ rack toms, a 14×16″ floor tom, and a matching 5.5×14″ snare drum. Mounting hardware for the rack toms is also included in the shell pack.

A MODERN TAKE ON CLASSIC WOOD HOOPS With retro looks and a warm vintage-style sound, the Concept Series™ Classic Wood Hoop kit is sure to turn heads. As part of the Concept Maple line, it features all-maple shells and counterhoops in two distinct, matte-finished themes. Recessed stamped claw hooks retain the plied maple hoops and add to the classic appeal. Offered without a snare drum in these old school sizes: 8×12″, 9×13″, 16×16″, and 16×18″ toms and 16×22″, 14×24″, and 14×26″ bass drums.

Features:

• MAG Throw-Off
• True-Pitch Tension Rods
• STM (Suspension Tom Mounts)
• 7-ply Tom/Kick Shells
• Dual-Turret Lug
• 10-ply Snare Shells

Concept Series is a new line of PDP drums that are available in both all-maple or all-birch shells. All shells are 7-ply, except for the snare which is 10-ply. Through our research with the DW Custom Shop, we have found some particular detail features that have a big effect on sound and quality. We believe every drummer deserves these features, so we included DW-style STM mounting systems, True Pitch™ tuning, F.A.S.T. tom sizing, proportional counter hoop sizing*, and Remo drum heads. Snare drums come with the DW MAG throw-off and fully chromed snare wires featuring carbon steel coils and brass plates end plates. Bass drums come with die-cast claw hooks, and all drums feature the new retro-inspired dual-turret tube lug. Concept Maple drums are available in six specialty high-gloss finishes, all with chrome hardware, except for pearlescent black (black hardware). Concept Birch drums share all of the great features of Concept Maple, but with all-birch shells.
