Nick D'Virgilio joins master drum builder John Good, Vice President of DW, to learn about the history of the DW drum company. Since their initial 1972 start as a small teaching studio, DW has never lost focus on the players and the playing experience - and has since crafted a comprehensive line of drums and drum hardware to meet the needs of beginning drummers to all-out touring professionals.

Love DW drums. Their drums for me are second to none and that also goes for their hardware.

My dad just got me a DW Design Series Kit in Midnight Blue Satin for Christmas. I can’t tell you how much I wanted these forever. The sizes are 22 inch kick, 10 and 12 inch rack toms, and a 16 inch floor tom. It’s awesome!!!!!

I met John Good in 2012, what a sweet, wonderful and clever man. I was a nobody from Australia but man, he made me feel like the only drummer in the world. I will always respect and love DW products, not just because of him but because to me, DW make the best drum products available today.

I've had DW 9000 double bass pedals and DW 5000 hi hats for 15 years and used to gig with them on a Pearl Rhythm Traveler kit. The response of those pedals was simply amazing. Then about 10 years ago, I bought an 8 piece used DW kit built for a famous drummer for his tour in 92. They're still beautiful, they resonate and hold tune incredibly, and I fall in love every time I look at them. I've gradually upgraded all cymbal stands to DW 5000 series and a 5000 series snare stand. John Good has definitely enhanced my drum life. Even if those products cost me a little more, they have been worth it to me.

Just bought the Purple Heart 6.5" x 14" VLT. My second DW snare. This snare Pops in all the right ways for me. I bought a DW kit in 2000 which was one of their Work Shop Series kits. Great drum set. My first real kit was a Slingerland kit from the 1970s which has been heavily modified. Re-vised bearing edges and a lot of other things. Next kit was a really nice Pearl Masters Studio, which is still a very nice kit. A few other kits that came and went. Always loved my Slingerlands, then the 2000 DWs were purchased as mentioned above. They were used for recording. A year prior to this Purple Heart snare drum purchase I bought a new Collector Series kit. Once again, a very nice kit. When I say nice, I mean great. Just for the record, John never says he never heard of Purple Heart wood. Nick is the one who has said this in the video. Also for the non-believers about grain direction, there is a huge difference. There are plenty of videos demonstrating this. It's all about pitch going higher when the wood is put under stress. DW is not perfect 100% and there is no drum company that is. DW is about innovation, striving to meet what drummers want and they are also about improving their designs/quality. I've watched them for many years before purchasing any of their drums and waited almost 20 years before buying a second DW kit. A successful company has to repeatedly deliver to be able to withstand the pressures of time. DW has been around for a long time now. No disrespect to any other successful drum companies, as there are many. I choose DW due to great drums, great customer service (for me personally), a company that never stops innovating and I also am partial to U.S.A. made drums. Last but not least I'm a custom snare drum builder and I have learned what DW has already learned years ago about making their own shells. Long live DW!

I grew up playing Slingerland drums. DW was the closest I could find in sound, so I went with them. I always liked the look of the lugs, and had already been using their pedals. I still have one of my Slingerland kits, but it stays in the rehearsal studio. I've had my dw drums for twelve years now. They've held up beautifully, and continue to sound fantastic whatever the situation.

In 1964 I went to Miami and bought a set of Rogers and a '61 T-Bird convertible and I was all set. Then in 1980 I bought a 23-piece Roland kit which never needed tuning and I kept the Rogers snare and all the Zildjian cymbals that were with the old kit. Plus I had double hi-hat, and TRIPLE bass-pedal ( I used one of the 23 pads for an extra bass pedal ). And it worked great...😎

It took you eight minutes to mention Camco and George Way? For shame! What sets DW drums apart, visually, are the "turret" lugs. Gorgeous. My 1970's Camco set would always get such compliments back in the good old days. My drumming? Not as much.

DW and Buddy Rich got together in 1982 to design a DW Buddy Rich kit. Buddy used them in January 1983, but didn’t like them and never used them again... He went back to a Slingerland Radio King after that, until his death in 1987. I would love to know what happened to that DW made kit...
@HorologicRannygazoo
@HorologicRannygazoo 3 года назад
I bet John would have loved another crack at Buddy since DW makes their own shells now. . . Maybe John has a trick up his sleeve to revive the Slingerland brand -- he must have had a reason to buy it.

He has the good line of you know what. Personally I don't believe his theory about the wood grains going in different directions affecting the sound. I think a solid quality wood shell will sound great regardless of the grain or type of wood. He discovered a way to justify charging $5K-$10K for a drumset that everyone else charges $2K-$4K for.

@davidmcaninch4714
@davidmcaninch4714 4 года назад
How dare you?? The difference between John Good and Gene Simmons is that John genuinely loves and respects all drummers. Yes he does make them very expensive, but if you get enough cash to afford it, then you’re getting your money’s worth. And he has genuine respect for the people who work for him. Gene Simmons is a greedy bastard who’s one of the most cocky, arrogant douchebags in the history of rock. So if you ever see a DW kit, or you’re lucky enough to meet John Good, then you show some damn respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know that Gretsch is now owned by DW, right?....lol. But after many years and many drum kits, I'd say Yamaha makes the best drums and hardware. Best snares are Mapex, Ludwig, Natal, and Craviotto.
