I don't know if you can buy drums direct from DW, but I did buy some clothing through them and it was a total pain. They were very disorganized, kept loosing track of the order, and were generally incompetent. I'd think twice before sending their ordering department 5k.

[BigTallG]

DW doesnt sell direct, but they have a "build your kit" feature on their website....but I believe you would have to take delivery from your local authorized DW dealer. (I have DWs) www.dwdrums.com

[BigTallG]

Oh, and not all music stores carry DWs.....they have to be an authorized dealer to sell DW drums...and there are 2 levels...hardware/pedals dealer, and drums/hardware/pedals dealer.

[BigTallG]

ok, i just did a quote for a DW kit...laquer finish, 8", 10", 12". 14", 16" & 18" toms, 22" kick, 5x14" snare.....$6500......just drums. no hardware, or cymbals....so figure about another 4 to 5 thousand for that...(well, thats what I would get, anyway, lol).......so for about 12 grand.

[BigTallG]

oh, that was with the 24k gold hardware on the drums too, I forgot, lol

[1DrumBum]

If you've got 12K just burning a hole in your pocket, you might as well go all out and spend 30K on the Peart 30th anniversary kit! It comes with the 24k gold hardware and paragon cymbals.

[Chiko]

yea..peart win...sorry BTG!..

[lhebs0]

I have no idea why somebody would want to buy a Neil Pert set, because it's not your personal setup, it just doesn't sound right!!!!! Now don't get me wrong here, i know Neil Pert is amazing, but why would you honestly want to buy a kit that you didn't even design?!?! i dont know

Oh ya to build your DW kit you just go to www.dwdrums.com, then to kitbuilder

[BigTallG]

hm....I have about 9 grand into the DW kit i have now...whats another 3 thousand? lol

[BigTallG]

but i kinda agree with lheb.....as cool as it may seem, I wouldn't want someone else's kit.

[BigTallG]

oh, and i saw one at Guitar Center yesterday...i went to get some stuff, and they had 5 DW kits there...one was a 6-piece exotic finish....Red Gum wood, i believe it was...10, 12, 14, 16, 22 kick, snare.....$6000. Again, no hardware or cymbals, just drums. BUT.....that was exotic finish, so I guess that price is "reasonable" lol

[SabianDrummerNC]

Yea the Guitar Center here has DW Drumsets ranging from $5,400-$9,000...
