Vintage Look and Tone - All Horizontal Ply Walnut Kits

Just like our Walnut ply and solid  S.S. Classic snare drums, these kits have a lot of low end and a darker vintage tone.  Beefy, fat and surprisingly ambient, these kits sound as beautiful as they look.  Most drummers pair their kits with various snare drums.  This is one kit where a matching snare works perfectly.  For those who own Walnut snares, these kits will round out your sound nicely.  For others who own more common Birch or Maple kits, Walnut provides another option to expand your tonal palette. These drum sets are built with the Witt Percussion all horizontal approach that we use on our snare drums. Though they can be finished however you like, most drummers choose the elegant natural finish dark wood colors with the dramatic and beautiful grains showing through a matte or gloss finish.
