I'm pretty sure Jose deserves a raise for getting those plies lined up so perfectly. Dude makes it look effortless, it'd take me an hour to do what he did in a minute. Lol

I love John Good's respect for all the employees. Thank you all for your love and passion of making precision drums - DW you're the best! 👍🥁👍DC

Incredible! I love the excitement John has about his drums and wood. Edit: I died laughing when I saw the knocker on that spray booth lol.. using a bass pedal

This short insight into dwdrums was extremely well put together, just like the drums appear to be. I'm sure all your employees are proud to be working at a company that achieves such excellent standards.

I really like how nice he is to his staff and that he knows all their names! That's impressive and the way to go

Luckily, I'm an independent consultant and I definitely don't like working under a boss. But for sure, I wouldn't mind working for John Good. The respect he shows to each collaborator and the knowledge of the processes performed by each one of them, shows that he's an awesome leader. DW team, you rock!!!

9:35 Neil Peart´s kit in process, beautiful...

Those drum craftsmen are musical heroes. This factory looks like tuned machine and the process is beautiful. Much respect for this team.

John Good is a genius, so much respect for him, love the way we treats his employees. Such a cool factory tour, so glad I bought my collectors series. You guys are true masters!🤘🏼

Favorite part was how you knock on the door for the spray booth.

This was the video that convinced me to take the DW leap! I ended up with pure maple but I'm not looking back! The whole process of tambre matching makes all the difference!

I love watching how things are made and I have to say I'm am seriously impressed with how much attention to detail is put into the making of these drums. I hope I can afford one one day lol

In Christmas of 2015, I got DW Performance Series Stainless Steel Snare, 14x8!!!! That is now my main snare!!!!! And BOY is it HEAVY!!!! But it's important. I love it!!!

Details, perfection, passion, responsibility...art. Well done DW!

Bought one of the first available oak drums, an 8x14, from Dale's. It's a beast. Mr. Good was nice enough to sign the shell when he was in the shop. Love his passion and dedication.

John Good is a pure genius. To think of these ways to make DW drums and all the custom tools to build the drums. He is truly one of the best drum builders in the country. John may not work the machines much, but it takes the mind to think of and create these machines, and he has vast knowledge of the whole process.

Thank you, John Good... You are an incredible ambassador to drum manufacturing... It's quite the process.

I love how organized this factory is and how much love is invested in creating these beautiful instruments!❤

The care and detail put into these drums is phenomenal. Excellent job DW, you make a amazing set of drums.

I am in love with the manufacturing process of these drums, DW really seems to be one of the few real innovators when it comes to drum shells. Making machines specifically for some of the drum building processes.

very impressive drum manufacturing has come a long ways

Very excited for these oak drums, I've played other oak drums for years and love the full bodied tone from them but now I can get them with the passion and craftsmanship from DW!

Sir, when I see your energy and personality,, when I see how you try for the best and what you give to this world,, I'm hard working father of young family but I hope as one of thousands drumming lovers that one day I will plant a three by you too. Stay yours 🖤🤟

Gorgeous drums. I can barely play the radio but I seriously want a set of these. You have an amazing facility and great employees! Thanks for sharing.

My name is Luiz Carvalho, Carvalho is OAK in portuguese...we feel every love in any pieces to me DW is still a distant dream but just see it make me happy, the way you bring magicfor all your love is wonderfull... carry on!!! from a fan of Brasil!!!

That guy Jose, putting those shells together, man, he has to have such an eye and hands for that. I wonder how hard it is to get the skill to put it together so it fits in.

picking up my Collectors series kit on Wednesday can't wait to start playing it

John Good is my favorite drum guy ever. Such a great guy and very intelligent

Incredible innovations and superior attention to every detail....That is why DW is the best and sound amazing! John is the man!

Thank you for showing the the process on how you manufacture these kits. And for the cherry on top... Ms. Sheila Escovedo.

The Oak kit is definitely worth checking out. Like everything @dw, it's outstanding!

Those workers must love him walking in, taking the drums they're working on and moving them around

He’s so respectful of all the employees. What a nice boss to work for.

The workers are probably thinking inside their heads...”can you shut up and leave so I can do my job in peace.” Haha

I completely understand, why these drums are so expensive. Worth every cent.

Cool custom machines. Amazing and complex process to make a drum. Never imagined it was so involved..!

John setting here with a good friend of yours AJ. In Tampa FL. Aj sold me my firsts DW kit in the 80s then the 90s then three more kits. I love them all I'll never sell them. they all have a little story to tell. AJ and I have a drum studio where we keep all are drum's of 40 years or so DW has aways been the best to me.

Perfect sound, beautiful toms and great quality ! I love it !!

This is fantastic! He treats his crew with such respect!! I just ordered my first DW snare drum - a Collectors brass plated in nickel. After watching this - I am DW for life!!

amazing dw drums just keep getting better in all areas great job DW Drums

I absolutely love the whole ethos of this company, their passion for the products they produce and the innovative ideas on what their customers may like. I was looking to buy an acoustic kit at some point, and I've decided to hold off and save up a bit longer to invest in a DW kit.

W😯W!!! I wish you guys had your own weekly tv show. I love watching these factory videos and seeing all the new creations. Other than wishing I was a pro drummer this would be my dream job. Creating a drum set for someone to love. It seems awesome to see that the passion is still there. I have owned hi end mapex hi end sonor and now a DW collectors kit and they by far have ruled my world. If you have played em you know what I mean. Every time I play some of my other kits I'm like man ya these are sweet damn they sound good and I fall in love again with them until I get back behind my DWs and just think oh yaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. This is the one drum set in my 26 years of playing that I haven't fallen out of love with. Thanks guys...the oak sounds bad ass

It is very interesting to see how much work and craftsmanship goes into such a product. It makes me appreciate the product even more.

What a fantastic process. I've always wondered how drums are made. Next time I see a DW drums kit, I'll have a better understanding and appreciation of the work, skills and time that has been put into each drum.

Those toms sound incredible! Love the floor tom tone. I appreciate the care that this guy has for his employees, he treats them like equals.

Absolutely amazing what goes into and seeing the process of making the perfect Drum ... DW Collector Series Awesome

this is incredibly beautiful. One day I will own a custom DW kit... one day

I swear to god man, DW is the best ever drum company...

Great insight into the process of high end drum making.

Thank you John for your ‘commitment to excellence’. D W is the kit we all envy 🤟

So much love put into every drum. I’ll gladly pay a little more for Drum Workshop products.

Amazing video. Now I know why I love your drum sets sound.

Wow, there is a lot of technology and also human craftsmanship that goes into these drums. I’m impressed, not only with the drums but John Good and the company. One day, a set of DW Collector’s will be mine. Oh yes, it WILL BE MINE.

This is wonderful! And a very pleasant experience looking how you make them and how good they sound and look at the end! I just could afford a pdp set but hey it's great all you guys do!

Ok I believe thats the most wonderful drum set, and as far as Miss Sheila E in heels, well ....the best way to finish the video!! cheers from UK.

I love the culture, enthusiasm and respect for the colleagues, technology, and the drums/wood. I would really like to work in an environment like this.

These 20 to 30-minute segments that give us a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into the manufacturing process really helps to explain and even justify the astronomical price of DW's flagship line. Regardless of whether or not you like DW and the DW sound, from what I've seen and researched, there's just no arguing that from start to finish, the level of care, thought, time, effort, quality, and attention to detail that goes into making each drum and ultimately each total kit is simply unmatched. DW also leads the drum industry in innovation and their hardware is the industry standard.

Good stuff! Makes me want to go out and buy a set right now! Beautiful explanation and tour!

It is very neat to see how DW drums are made and put together.

Lots of innovation happening. Cool to see how stuff is done!

John makes me love drums even more. I need a dw kit asap

DW is great because they're pioneers and do what the consumers want. When they see a better way to something, they seem to change at the drop of a hat. I hope to get a DW 5 pc this summer!

OMG .. I LOVE DW , guys you r such UNIQUE , Thanks a million for the video

Great video with REAL people doing fantastic jobs around the factory, they all look like they enjoy working there. The kits look amazing and sound fantastic. Thanks for the tour John Good loved watching.

My dad got me a DW Design Series kit in Midnight Blue Satin for Christmas. I love it!!!! That was my dream kit forever, and now it’s finally mine!!! I also have a massive Performance Series Stainless Steel 14x8 snare drum. And for jewelry, I have Zildjian A Custom cymbals with the exception of an 18in Platinum Rock Crash and a 9in K Custom Hybrid splash cymbal, cute little guy with an explosive sound!!! And my sticks? None other than the Vic Firth 5A and 5AN!!!!!! Hardware includes a Tama Iron Cobra, DW tom stand, Yamaha snare stand, DW hi-hat stand, Pearl ride stand, and PDP cymbal stands, and a Pork Pie throne!!!!

Wow, you have put together a great facility and a great skilled workforce! I really like your company, and your products speak for themselves. I hope to own one some day.

Woaow... Very impressive. Thank you Mr Good, I like so much the way you explain how you all work at DW. I'm a proud owner of a DW Frequent Flyer set and probably one day or another I'll take the next step : order a DW Classic Series drum kit which makes me dream for quite some times now.

I love watching stuff like this as a drummer. Even though I will not be able to afford a set from them. I want a maple/mahogany set if I was to choose and had the money.

beautiful job of all of them. the results sound pretty good...

I will own a DW set soon! cant wait!

Man on mission. What a visionary. tremendous effort and process.

Very cool video! I love DW drums!

John, Your process of creating a drum, is amazing and extremely educational. What a treat to walk thru your factory with you and realize how difficult it is to make the perfect drum. That's why D.W. stands out above all its competition. I love all your finishes but I gig so often, that I'll get a scratch on it, eventually, and that breaks my heart. Do the pearl finishes change the tone of the drums, very much. I talked to you a few months back about cutting a hole in the front B.D. head, which I haven't done, and you were very informative. If you have the time, I would love to receive a response. God bless, Danny Goodchild

That was an excellent watch.

Thank you for the tour!

So amazing! One day hope to have one....

I'm tottaly convinced! My next drumset will be made by you guys...

I totally love John’s level of wood/drum nerdiness.

This was a really neat watch.

WoW, my dream come true. To see how those fine drums are made. Amazing....someday I will have one like that one....

Great company this one you all have! :) I'll purchase one of them, one day!

What an amazing level of craftsmanship!!!

Tuning and timbre matching… Very cool!

I didn't know you could make oak drums sound so good 💯🔥👌🏻

So awesome to see such a high-quality product made in the USA! 18:45 Those quilted maple, turquoise-fade-to-clearcoat wood finish drums look incredible! Would love to see a 59 Les Paul fade too, or a Strat Tri-burst fade. Applying wood veneers, raising the grain and applying finish is a complex process, but I WISH this video had shown some. Please create a video for this alone. Thank you!

I'm huge enthusiast of Tama Drums, but after saw this video... I will be thinking seriously in DW drums, before I buy my next kit!!

John knew every employee by name. Great video, you certainly get what you pay for!

Nicely Done!!! Cheers!

7:41 oh mannnn, this is officially the future. so much craftsmanship RESPECT!!!!

Amazing, I am glad I watched this, I do not play anymore but wanted always to have a DW set, I own a Renown Model from Gretsch all Maplewood and sounds great but I was never at ease with the fact it has a label as made in china; I bought it back in 2010 and only used it live couple times after that as I am on my way out from actively playing, then I saw a DW "JOHN GOOD" COLLECTORS SERIES 6 piece EXOTIC REDWOOD FADE Drum Kit FADE at local guitar center and started to look into these; that is how I got here watching this wonderful video of the whole process and I am really impressed. The kit I am looking at is used and has couple blemishes but I am trying to find a way to buy it; I know I will not play it live probably ever but that will fill that "hole" as far as wanting to own one of these brand..they are expensive but this video clearly states why all over! Now if I ending up getting it, depending if it has the sizes I like 10, 12, 14, 16 and 22, snare 6.5 x 14, then I would like to add an 8" tom to it then my dream would be completed; I would have preferred it in a combination of blue but I felt drawn to the red wood without much issues! I just need to keep justifying the 4K it cost, even used by the notion that there is no way I can afford to have me one custom built when I do not play for a living anymore. great job there DW!

Never ever will get tired of watching and listening to John Good, god bless you man

I wish EBMM had this much factory stuff. Super cool guys. DW, Mesa, Music Man, you guys are all killing it.

awesome drums

I got a DW Performance Series 14x8 Stainless Steel snare drum for Christmas. That things a monster!!!!!!!! My main kit is a Pearl Forum kit in wine red finish, but it's great!!! DW and Pearl, what a combination!!!! Can't miss!

Excellent video,

Hey John that's awesome!!!

I hope to own a DW collector's series set one day. I've been playing on the same PDP maple set for the past 10 years and have put it through the ringer...but it still sounds great :)

I dont play the drums but this mans dedication to quality is 2nd to none and that makes me want to buy anything he is selling :)

John you look like my Music Professor! I got to say a well known Music Professor and Trumpet Player in our Country. Glad to see how they're made

As far as I'm concerned the people who work in these factories and do this work are brilliant!
