They have been in my smoke free humidity controlled studio since I purchased them 15 or so years ago. There is some pedal rash on the bass drum hoop so they were played by someone at some time. These are very rare and you will not likely find another one this clean.
The shells are individually hand signed, numbered and dated with signatures by DW's John Good (Pres) and Don Lombardi (CEO). But, they still manage to possess ample attack, projection and ‘edge’ for louder or more aggressive musical styles. I’ve played DW Collectors maple and birch, Yamaha Recording Custom, Pearl Reference Pure, Sonor S Classix and Hi-Lite, Tama Star and other high end drums, and these really are the most totally unique, pure and melodic drums I’ve heard. Needless to say, these are the most ‘musical’ drums I’ve ever played. The shells really function beautifully on what are effectively 3 separate octaves. In general, all of the toms have 3 very clear tuning sweet-spots: at low, medium and high. But, what was most surprising was how much deep bottom end the hanging floor toms have! For DW Fast-tom sizes, they really can sound like a 14x14 and 16x16 at lower tunings. The bass drum has that perfect blend of clear attack and substantial bottom end ‘boom’, and the snare drum sounds a lot deeper than a 5”, but with that strong high that birch is so famous for. Just a really balanced, elegant and remarkable tone. I’d describe them as having the high end of birch, the mids of maple, and the bottom end of beech or walnut. Basically, they resonate FOR DAYS! And the tone - wow! - crystal clear and true. Thus, the structure of the wood is composed of thousands of microchambers, giving the wood a very distinct sound. However, the process is a bit more complicated (and fascinating): microorganisms have digested all of the sap, minerals and other ‘non-wood’ substances, so that what’s left is only wood fiber. I've researched it, and the chemical and biological process that the wood underwent has, as John says above, “cured” the wood. What a way to celebrate 30 years in the business." These drums are like no other in the world. Both the birch and the maple have a rare musical temperament due to the cold water curing the wood, but each also has its own unique tone. "It was practically an accident that these logs were even found, much less turned into musical treasures. The logs were harvested by underwater treasure hunters and used to create DW's Timeless Timber line, featuring 25th Anniversary Lake Superior Maple sets in 1997 and DW's 30th anniversary Lake Superior Birch sets in 2002). “In the late '90s, John Good - DW’s “woodologist” - learned of 500-year-old hardwood that had sunk in Lake Superior 100 years ago.
