These innovative, acoustic-electronic, and wireless drums represent a milestone in the development of musical instruments, offering musicians completely new possibilities for musical expression.

Unleash Your Sound: The Revolution of DW Hybrid Drums

Since 1972, DW has been The Drummers Choice®, standing for highest quality and unparalleled craftsmanship. With DWe, DW sets a new standard: the combination of authentic DW sounds, advanced wireless technology, and handcrafted drum shells. Each DWe kit is crafted with the utmost care and precision from the finest materials that have already made DW acoustic drum kits world-famous. This attention to detail ensures that a DWe kit not only sounds great but also plays beautifully.

Digital Heart, Acoustic Soul

The DWe Hybrid Drumset is a high-end acoustic-electronic drumset that can be played both as an acoustic and electronic drumset. Equipped with its own wireless trigger technology and multi-zone pads, DWe offers natural playability and authentic DW sounds. The handcrafted shells made from Pure North American Hard Rock Maple are manufactured at the DW factory in Oxnard, California, guaranteeing exceptional sound quality.

One Kit. Limitless Possibilities.

By combining the latest technology, sounds, and software, DWe integrates acoustic and electronic drumming in a completely new way. This unique integration opens up unprecedented possibilities for musical expression. DW believes that electronic drums can enhance the playing experience if they offer more than just a simple reproduction of an acoustic drumset. DWe was developed to open up entirely new paths for drummers.

Possibilities. Electrified.

The DWe Hybrid Drums are the only acoustic-electronic drumset on the market that can be completely transformed. The integrated technology allows the drummer to fully focus on playing, while expressive pitch-bending and manual damping expand creative freedom. The robust, field-tested DW hardware and available three-zone metal cymbals provide an authentic playing feel.

Your Sound. Electrified.

DW's motto is: A new tool inspires every artist's creativity. With the versatility of a combined acoustic and electronic drumkit, drummers can expand their skills and play more dynamically and creatively than ever before.

The expandable sound library ensures lasting inspiration.
