Drum Workshop is an Oxnard, California-based drum and hardware manufacturing company. Their list of endorsers includes many professional drummers. Drum Workshop pioneered the timbre-matching technique of grouping a set of drum shells together by listening to the note each shell holds before it is sanded. Each shell that comes out of the DW factory is stamped with the note of that shell on the inside. Their lineup now includes 4000, 5000, 7000, 8000, and 9000 series pedals; 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000 and 9000 series hardware; and a large variety of drums that can be ordered in different types of wood shells, color, and size.
PACIFIC DRUMS - PDP
Pacific Drums and Percussion (or PDP for short) is a subsidiary company under Drum Workshop established in the year 2000 to provide high quality drum equipment to those unable to afford the higher prestige and quality Drum Workshop equipment. Pacific Drums and Percussion also manufactures drum hardware and accessories. Their factory is located at Ensenada, Mexico. DW created a line of drums to meet the demand for entry to mid-level players. The line still uses some custom techniques, but primarily uses computerized machinery to cut costs and reduce steps to create high-quality drums in large quantities. Pacific Drums have now made DW's innovation and quality available to a larger market, while still maintaining the reputation of DW drums as high-end unique instruments.
