So like 6 years ago,give or take. I rode my Harley from Long Island out to Teluca Lake CA to see a friend. As I spent time there I decided to ride up to Oxnard and see the factory, especially since I just bought a collectors maple mahogany kit. So I ride up there, no appointment, walk in and ask for a tour. The receptionist tells me only Tuesday and Thursdays I believe. So we get to talking and some dude walks out, I tell him my story how I rode out here, and you guys built me this beautiful MM kit etc, he goes "stay right here". Dude comes back with John Good and we get to talking. John gives me my own private tour of the DW factory!!!. Great guy and an even better human being. John was so impressed I rode all the way there he said he had to give me a tour lol. Definetly a highlight of my life. Thank you John I'll never forget what you did for me

That’s fantastic!! I had a similar situation in 1996. My flight back to Michigan was supposed to leave and I couldn’t make the scheduled tour so they invited me out a day early and I spent a couple hours with John one-on-one. He and his crew were amazing! Solid people and great drums and hardware!!

Dude sanding the wood is very important because if it's not sanded down, then you're going to have a drum shell with a bunch of chips it, and probably get some splinters.

Very nice facility and it appears they have lots of people working in there factory it’s just to bad they don’t have anyone working in the front office to answer the phone. 6 months ago I ordered a set of drums through Long and Mcquade and after it was on order for a month I asked Long and Mcquade to call DW for an update on when it would be shipped and the Factory could not be bothered to reply back so after waiting 2 weeks for a response back that never happened I cancelled my order. DW appears to make a lot of drums it’s just to bad there not all that interested in selling them.

In 2006, my Bro, whom was a drummer, & I had gone here! It was a surprise tour I had called to set up & he 'thought' we were going to the beach! :) Funny story though...When I had stopped at a gas station to get specific directions, I would have thought for sure he would have figured out that we were in farm country & nowhere near a beach, but he wasn't fazed :) And I had told him [since he thought we were going to the beach], to bring a t-shirt change, because he was wearing a Pearl T-shirt in front of that DW Wall & when we went inside to check in with the receptionist at the front, she busted his balls about the shirt, but we assured her that we had a change in the car!! Haaaa..... And to comment what others said: At the end of the tour, they lead you into a room with many kits set up & tell you, you can play any set!! And they gave you a DW Drum Key!! The tour was amazing! What a great tour & great memory!!

@Eric_In_SF 7 ай бұрын
FYI they’re not checking the shells for timbre (pronounced tamber)at the end. They are checking the tuning of the drums so that they can mark the inside of the shells for the new owner. Timbre match in comes way before they ever put paint. That would be absurd to paint drums not to have the match and have to throw them away or send them down and refinish them. Logic

I'm curious to hear what they have to say about the shells note when considering once you add the hardware on them it changes the note completely
@RtaniDean 7 ай бұрын
It’s a marketing strategy. A good one, but just a selling fad. The note of shell changes just like you said. It’s their “thing!” People buy it. Oh well. Drum on.
@dconsmack 4 ай бұрын
That is true but what’s interesting is that if you tune the bottom head to the note on the the inside of the shell, then tune the top head a half step to minor third above it (per John Good’s recommendation) your drums will sound really good. I’ve tried it with my Collector’s Cherry Jazz kit and it totally worked. My kit has 12”, 13”, & 14” toms and when tuned this way not only were the intervals good between them, but the character of the drums in that range went well together. So, it works, but you can also tune them however you like. They’re great drums.

You’re nuts. Are used to have a set of collectors and they sang. It was just after they stopped using Keller shells and started making their own. I recorded an album and a pretty good studio, and the engineer that runs the place begged me to sell him the drums because they sounded so amazing compared to the hundreds of other drum sets he heard. Sonar sound pretty damn good too.
