Key Features
The PDP Concept Classic Ltd 3pc Shell Pack is an all-European maple, limited edition shell pack from Pacific Drums and Percussion. Designed in California, these drums offer thrilling sounds with their unique composition. The maple shells produce the warm, all-purpose tones that make this tonewood arguably the most popular in the world for drums. A key element here, however, is the shells' striking walnut hoops. This limited edition inclusion gives the drums a much fatter, more aggressive tonality. Not to mention, they look spectacular alongside the pristine, twisted ivory finished shells. The PDP Concept Classic harks back to retro drum sets of the past, but with modern, DW-inspired hardware features that perform wonderfully. Its traditional size and 'one-up-one-down' configuration make it perfect for most popular genres. And at this price, it's accessible for most players. Whether you're looking to upgrade, or own a piece of PDP (and indeed, DW) history, this limited edition Concept Classic Shell Pack is the bold drumming statement you're looking for.
Please note: snare drum, cymbals, hardware and all accessories sold separately.

PDP is a sub-brand of world-renowned drum manufacturer Drum Workshop, and as such, the Concept Classic's hardware components are heavily inspired by DW's finest features. One such inclusion is DW's excellent Tru-Pitch tension rods. With the finest of threads, these ensure maximum tuning accuracy. Meanwhile, the die-cast claw hooks impart a timeless, vintage appeal. Dual-Turret drum lugs offer tonal consistency across all three of your shells. DW's influence on the Concept Classic Shell Pack is unmistakable.
And the hardware features don't stop there. Like only larger drums can, the Concept Classic shells fill the room with their meaty tones and full-bodied response. Of course, it helps to have excellent hardware that brings out the very best of these European maple wood shells. A trio of resonant floor tom legs allows the 16" floor tom to rumble along, with deep low-end and thunderous punch. As for the 12" rack tom, DW's Suspension Tom Mount makes sure it sings with glorious musical zest that cuts right through the mix. Oh, and did we mention the drum heads? A full set of DW-designed Remo heads are included with the Concept Classic. This means awesome drum sounds straight from the box.
When you lay your eyes on the Concept Classic Shell Pack, it's really the natural walnut drum hoops that grab your attention. They create a sumptuous contrast with the magnificent twisted ivory finished shells - themselves very easy on the eye. But these walnut hoops aren't just here for the aesthetic value. They're a key ingredient in the Concept Classic's beefy, floor-shaking sound. They take the already formidable European maple shells and add sprinklings of additional focus and power that amount to one extraordinary drum set.
