WTS Hardware Benefits

Free Your Shells with Less Invasive Drum Hardware

WTS hardware provides drum builders significant benefits over tension rod systems; with up to 90% fewer holes and hardware on each drum shell, builders only need to drill 4 holes for the tuning knob.

 

Every other piece of hardware is free-floating from the shell, which is not only less intrusive on the drum shell, but highlights the pure tone and characteristics of the shell composition.

Take Your Build to the Next Level with Innovative Quality Drum Hardware

All WTS components are either die-cast or machined, and feature 2.3mm hoops (toms) and die-cast hoops (snares).

 

Say goodbye to your drum key, ditch the over-used tube lugs, and compliment your drum shell with the most innovative drum hardware on the market!

Give Your Customers More Options

If you are building custom drums, why offer only one hardware option? WTS is a great option to allow your customers to not only choose the composition, size, and finish of their shell, but their hardware as well!

 

Easily integrate WTS into your current products with minimal setup required.
