    I always ran Evans G2 Coated over G1 Clear on my Catalina Maples, and this combo sounds pretty good on my DW's, but shockingly, I think the stock heads sound better or at least maybe they resonate more to me!!! The G2/G1 combo on my DW kit sounds slightly choked whereas the stock heads on my DW kit make the drums sound a lot more lively, louder and much better overall.

    I'm not a Remo guy at all, but in general, do you think 1 ply sounds better than a 2 ply head on your DW kits for a batter head? Maybe I should go with a 1 Ply Coated over a 1 Ply Clear would sound the best?

    I like coated for the warmth but I am loving how the stock heads sound and I've never said that before. Or are the stock heads that come with the kit are the best to use for the Collector's Series?
    The '07 DW Collectors kit that has been a demo showroom floor model for nearly 9 years that I have on layaway, of course, still has the stock heads on it. As beat up as they look, the heads still sound great. I can only imagine what the kit would sound like with new heads? I'm going to stick with the Remo/DW stock heads since they held up very well to the amount of punishment a demo kit usually suffers through and do a complete swap out before I invest in some DW hardware.

    It's official. My obligatory DW Collectors pic. Picked it up yesterday. It's an '07 (manufactured on August 10, 2007) that I picked up "new" at my local indie music store. It never left the store for nearly 9 years lol!

    The kit looks great. What are your first impressions?

    Looks like you swapped to EC2's? I run those same heads on my finish ply kit!

    Thanks! It was so late, I didn't have a chance to play them yet. Hopefully tonight. Nice to know you have the same heads on your ply kit! Got the DW factory heads coming in Wednesday just to compare them to the EC2 heads. I ordered a white vented reso head not knowing the kit came with an Remo Ebony. I lucked out because I wanted a black and a white reso

    Finally :D









    Such thin and light shells. Icm with the Rims, the sustain is amazing. The Pinstripes are barely noticeable.

    The 8'' tom (added later somewhere between '93 en '97) has a B in its serial number, what usually means Birch at DW.

    Big thanks to Toby from Nashville Gear Factory, and getting the drums safely across the big pool.

    Finally together.



    12x5 & 14x6 Maple/Brass Edge. Good for about 13.5kg in weight.

    The Mag strainer and 3 point butt system are very nice. If they would broaden the bridge of the 3 point, its effectiveness could be even better.

    The 12'' chrome hoops are on the way.

    Digging the DW/Remo clear/coated heads. 10ml single ply heads ring out the stamped timbre pitch very nicely. A 'lil hesitant about putting the EC2 back on.

    Yep, Performance series in white marine pearl. 24x18 kick, 13x10 rack tom, 16x14 and 18x16 floor toms. This thing is a beast! I've looked at a few DW snares, but I can't seem to move away from my Pearl LE walnut snare. It just sounds too good to part with.
