Could be a mahogany heartwood curly.
All I can say is to go to the DW website and look at their Collectors finishes.
It looks closest to the Natural to Candy Black Burst but the picture of the drum kit is too small to get a good look at the finish.

Hmm, "fades" to black at the top and bottom with natural in the middle leaves only one choice:Natural to Candy Black Burst.
SONOR 6 pc Special Edition 3007's red maple, old Pearl Brass 14x6 FF snare, Yamaha Tour Custom maple 8 pc., Tama 4 pc., honey amber B/B, Ludwig Supralite chrome 14x6.5 steel snare, Paiste, Saluda & Zildjianhttp://www.facebook.com/DerailedRockers/
Loaned out Slingerland upgraded 4 pc 1963 black, wrapped maple + 14" Pearl birch FT
Looks like the 40th anniversary kit, not sure what that veneer was called though.
The 40th anniversary kits feature special badges. They are in the "timeless timber" line, featured a hard satin finish and came in 10,12,14,16,22 with matching snare. Also they made like 50 or 100. This might be a Tamo Ash exotic but it appears to be a lacquer and does not have the "Timeless Timber/40th Anniversary" badges. Everyone keep guessing.

Can't forget that kit, that aged pewter hardware looks so classy.
And that's why I never go to the casino.

Thank you for all the replies so far
Hmm, it is a natural to candy black burst over some kind of exotic finish.
Heartwood curly looks like it, but the wood grain is too thin and straight:
I agree that is will most likely be a Tamo Ash finish, but it's not the anniversary kit.
Also, the direction of the wood grain is horizontal and wraps around the drums as to vertical on the anniversary kit...
I did search on the DW website but didn't find that finish.
Is Tamo Ash actually still available as an exotic finish?
Hard to say from that picture, but it looks like a black to natural over something with a quilted grain pattern.
Mmm... Saturns.
Absolutely gorgeous finish.............but I'm sure that kit cost an arm and a leg
My guess is natural to candy over pillow quilted maple.
