PDP
Pacific Drums and Percussion, DW's value line
Drum Workshop launched PDP to put DW's shell profiles and hardware geometry into imported drums at a fraction of the price. The Concept Maple line in particular is built to specifications a DW owner recognises immediately.
Models
-
PDP Concept Birch
Drum kit
Concept Birch trades the maple line's low end for birch's sharper attack and quicker decay, which is the choice most often made when the kit will be close-miked.
-
PDP Concept Maple
Drum kit
Concept Maple is the kit that made PDP's reputation: 7-ply maple shells with DW's bearing edge angles, low-mass lugs, and suspension mounts, at a fraction of a Collector's Series price.
-
PDP Centerstage
Drum kit
Centerstage is a full package — shells, hardware, throne, and cymbals — aimed at a first kit, using poplar shells and PDP's own hardware rather than an unbranded set.
Categories
-
Snare Drums
Snare drums and snare drum model families, including metal-shell and wood-shell snares.
-
Drum Hardware
The steel between the drummer and the drums. Bass drum pedals and hi-hat stands are considered purchases in their own right, and a throne outlasts several kits.
-
Drum Kits
Acoustic and hybrid drum kit model families, shell packs, and related drum sets.
