Proprietary triggers on the shell connect wirelessly to the DrumLink hub for wide dynamic expression. Offered as an expandable component, the versatile DWe bass drum augments drummers' creativity and performance capability.

Pure Maple Shell Delivers Legendary DW Sound

The DWe bass drum features DW's trademark maple shell construction for optimal resonance and sustain. Built from 100-percent North American hard rock maple plies in DW's patented vertical, low timbre orientation, the drum produces the balanced punch and open tone that defines the DW sound. The traditional VLT design allows the shell to resonate freely for enhanced low end and attack. With hand-selected wood and meticulous attention to detail, DW crafts each shell in California to their exacting standards. The result is a bass drum with the same legendary quality drummers expect from a DW acoustic drum, now with the added versatility of electronics.

Proprietary Triggers Enable Enable Cable-Free Setups

The DWe bass drum includes proprietary triggers seamlessly fitted into the drum shell for wireless connectivity. The triggers accurately translate playing nuance into electronic signals for excellent dynamic response. There are no cables or pads required, freeing drummers up for unrestrained movement and self-expression. The triggers connect wirelessly to the DrumLink hub, which converts signals into MIDI data and interfaces with the included DW Soundworks software on your computer. The wireless system supports up to 30 instruments simultaneously for flexible configuration options. The wide dynamic range and tight integration of the DWe triggers facilitate natural playing feel when using electronics.
