Priced and sized for the performing drummer, the Dominion Birch shell pack delivers big-time ddrum visuals and tone at a compelling price point. The ddrum premium all-birch shell construction comes through in full effect from behind the Dominion Birch kit's ribbony ash veneers. Together with its modern rock sizing and hybrid hoop selection (flanged for toms, cast for snare), the Dominion Birch delivers a quick, focused, and powerful attack that stands up beautifully to the demands of both stage and studio. Top-class shell hardware and high-performance Remo heads optimize tone right out of the box.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


6-/8-ply birch shells





Of the "big three" professional shell woods ? maple, mahogany, and birch ? birch is the snappiest and most focused by far. Birch's strength and weight grants the Dominion Birch a focused attack and a sweet, singing high-end register. This helps your drums cut through a mix with added presence onstage and enhanced clarity in the studio.





Matching snare with cast hoops





It's not often you'll find a matching snare included in a kit of this caliber. The Dominion snare is built from eight plies of crisp, cutting birch and features die-cast hoops and high-performance Remo heads, including a Reverse Dot batter, for a performance-ready tone out of the box. Like the rest of the kit, the Dominion snare features an exotic ash lacquered veneer for a put-together look. But unlike the rest of the kit, the Dominion Birch snare sees an added dose of dryness and projection from its heavyweight die-cast hoops.





Top-class shell hardware and edges





Shells are only part of what makes the ddrum Dominion Birch such a formidable mid-priced kit. Here's what you get in terms of shell hardware and optimizations:





Classic box lugs ? Fans of ddrum's legacy kits and snares will appreciate the Dominion Birch's low-profile box-style lugs.


Integrated suspension tom mounts ? Three-point suspension mounts maximize resonance and sustain in the Dominion Birch's toms.


Precision 45-degree bearing edges ? Pinpoint edges across the Dominion Birch series minimize head contact with the shell for an optimized modern response.
