9/17/2023 0 Comments Buy dw timeless timber![]() I also discovered this last night, while taking apart the 13" and cleaning it up, checking tightness of mounting screws etc and saw the wrap cut away and folded evenly around where the heads seat. Having a hard time finding the dw clear reso's and am thinking it may be easier to just order ambassador clears for the tom reso's? How good are the dw reso's? I would love a Vintage logo as well, I just ordered all batters last night and will order reso's next week. Really looks nice and was the exact sizes I have been wanting for a long time but have always had to settle in one way or another. It makes my 24" look super cool and sound great.Thanks man, yeah you are correct it is Green Broken Glass not Green sparkle. Check out the DW vintage logo reso for the bass. Is that a sparkle? It looks like green glass glitter. I'll go that route if I need to buy new heads. You can find them cheaper online and avoid the sales tax or shipping if you find the right online retailer. I had to pay sales tax (8.5%) and $20.00 shipping since I bought the heads at my local mom and pop music store. The entire cost of the head swap for the DW stocks heads including the white reso was $265 USD. The middle of the coated/clear heads are clear. The description of the stock heads confused me since DW uses a backslash as in "coated/clear" but the only thing that is coated is what appears to be a control ring around the edge of the batter. The Collector's receive the coated/clears from the factory. I want to compare the vented reso with a ported head and recorded the kit with the vented reso and it sounded great. I didn't port any of the DW resos for the kick since I have 22" reso heads with ports cut into them. The reso is vented with 3 holes on the left and right side of the head. Did you go with the dw stock batter on the kick as well? Did you port it? I wonder if dw can tell me if this kit came with clears or coateds heads? I believe the 13" is timbre "B" but cannot recall the other 2 at the moment.Yes, I went with the new stock batter on the kick and went with a white head for the reso since the kit came with a ebony reso. Hey late I was leaning towards those dw stock heads so thanks for the info. Both of those head combinations gave me favorable results but I'm going back to putting the stock heads back on as soon as I get some time. I've used Evans EC2 clears over Evans G1 and I also went with Evans blue hydraulics over G1 clear. If you want to go a different direction, at least you have an idea how they intended the kit to sound from the factory. The stock heads are single ply 10mil.īy going stock, this will give you a "starting point" on how DW timbre matched the shell grouping for your kit. My Collector's kit came with stock heads that were worn out so I ordered all new batters and resos heads including heads for the kick and it was well worth it. The stock heads make the Collector's series really "sing" out and the prices are comparable to buying any aftermarket heads. Order the DW/Remo coated/clear stock heads and tune the resos to the timbre pitch marked on each shell. Welcome to the DW family and I know you'll hang on to this kit for a long time! I wish I still had a 24" bass drum in my arsenal. MDK, congrats! I'm so happy for you and thanks for the shout out! They look brand new.

Kit sizes are BD 24 x 16, Rack tom 13 x 9, and floor tom 16 x 16. ![]() I will take more pics when I get it all set up to play. Not much time to set up and actually play these initial opinions are from just tapping them out of the box. I will need to change the heads on that one as well. The floor tom sounds thunderous, easily the best 16 floor tom I have ever owned and the 13 sounds great as all DW collector 13"s do IMO. I will need to change the bass drum heads asI am not a big fan of fibreskyn heads but the bass drum sounds pretty good even with those thick heads on it. ![]() I Just got my new to me 3pc gorgeous green sparkle kit unboxed. ( Special shout out to Late8 for turning me on to reverb just in time) Well after 11 years of playing I have finally scratched the itch and am now a DW Collectors owner. ![]()
