Drums

We feel every drummer should own quality heavy-duty hardware without breaking the bank, so we designed a stripped-down 5000 Series with fewer bells and whistles, but with all of the quality and strength that’s made DW famous.

Designed in conjunction with Akira Jimbo, the 19" K Custom Hybrid Trash Smash is ideal for both crashing and riding, either on the outer edge or main body.
Drawing from the spirit of the legendary K Zildjian range, K Custom cymbals are dark, rich and dry and enable today's drummers to utilize complex K sounds in a more modern musical environment. They feature traditional K hammering, plus a variety of additional modern hammering techniques that produce unique sonic capabilities. Recommended for modern jazz, studio, country and medium rock. K Customs are designed with today's diverse music scene in mind.

Truly a drummer for a new generation, Casey Cooper’s energetic performance videos have become an online favorite for over 1.5 Million avid subscribers. In celebration of his dynamic playing, Pearl has collaborated with Casey to create The Igniter: a snare created specifically to instantly improve the sound of any drum kit.

The Igniter’s 14"x5" shell features an all Maple interior to enhance power, tone and projection. Custom flame and pinstripe graphics draw inspiration from one of Casey's signature performances, while CL bridge lugs are augmented by Red gaskets to add to its unique character.

A fantastic value to add to your drumming voice and keep the fire of drumming burning bright, each Igniter snare drum comes with a deluxe Casey Cooper snare drum rudiments poster.

Evolving from the amazing sound of the Blast, with the important contribution of our artist Iarin Munari, the new Blast Extra dry crashes are still explosive but the unlathed surface and the big hammer marks produce a dry and darker sound. Warm, easy to control , with small “trashy” and oriental overtones, the Blast Extra Dry crashes are the right choice for many different applications, from Jazz to Pop music, from Rock to Electro music.

Big sound from legendary DNA

This set was selected by Meinl Cymbals artist Benny Greb to complete a full kit using his signature Byzance Sand Series cymbals. Together, they create a superhuman vintage sound and look with mellow tone. Perfect for pop, R&B, fusion, funk, songwriter, alternative, jazz, and acoustic.

Includes:

• 14" Sand Hats
• 18" Sand Thin Crash

Mastersound HiHats feature crimped edges on the bottom cymbal, which not only prevents air lock, but creates a lively, fast “chick” sound and an overall balanced tonal presence. Choose 13” diameter for more control and articulation, or 14” diameter for a versatile range of frequencies and full-bodied response.
