Pure tone, effortless drum tuning
Every WTS drum features the revolutionary Welch Tuning System™ (WTS). A system of pulleys and cable bring both heads into tune with the turn of a single handle. No more tension rods. No more drum key!
Whether you are a professional touring drummer looking for the versatility to change tuning on the fly, a studio owner wanting to save time and get more consistent and better drum tones, or if you aren't that skilled at tuning and just want great sounding drums every time you play without all the hassle of tension rods, WTS drums will forever change the way you think about drum tuning.
Since 2015, founder/CEO Samuel Welch and his devoted drum team at Welch Tuning Systems have spent countless hours re-engineering the standard approach to drum tuning and manufacturing — and the payoff is stunning! WTS drums boast a handful of creative patents and a unique wire-tension tuning mechanism that provide up to a 90% reduction in shell-mounted hardware, reducing weight and simultaneously opening up your shells for a purer, clearer, and more natural tone. With several high-grade shell series available and numerous collaborations under their collective belt, it’s more than safe to say that Welch Tuning Systems is on the rise and more committed than ever to integrating their unique tuning technologies into the creative realms of drummers everywhere!
