Drum Workshop, Inc. (DW) introduces SonicPly drum shells to the Collector’s Series, the first new shell construction since PurpleCore in 2021. Developed by DW’s woodologist, John Good, the latest design blends the best characteristics of wood and metal to offer a new, exciting sonic experience.

John Good, nicknamed the ‘Wood Whisperer’ by legendary Rush drummer Neil Peart, has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the science of wood plies, their sonic properties, and how to create great-sounding drums. Good’s skills were honed over many years on the road as a drum tech with Michael Jackson, Frank Zappa, and many more.

SonicPly is the result of two years of relentless experimentation led by Good. The shells are formed by bonding aircraft-grade aluminum and North American maple plies using a special adhesive formula. The result is a drum shell that seamlessly balances the optimum qualities of both wood and metal, to offer drummers a sensational new sonic adventure.

The SonicPly drums, available in shell sizes ranging from 10” to 24” diameters, fuse eight plies of Maple with a 0.6mm core of Aluminum, while the snares have been built using twelve plies of wood with two, strategically placed Aluminum plies. This precise construction balances the warmth and resonance of the Maple wood, with the crisp attack and dry sustain of the Aluminum alloy.

The result is a set of drums that speak with projection and unparalleled dynamic response. When played, SonicPly drum shells cut through dense mixes, with enhanced presence, to ensure every note is heard with clarity, making them suitable for studio or stage.

All SonicPly drum are fitted with DW’s tour-proven Collector’s Series hardware including Suspended Tom Mounts (STM), full-sized turret lugs, True Hoops, and standard bearing edge. The shells are available in all Collector’s Series finishes, including exotic veneers and custom lacquers.

This next generation of DW drum shell innovation has been designed for professionals seeking drums that redefine sonic versatility and projection. SonicPly is built for drummers who demand sound perfection.
