The rich, full texture of this ddrum Dios Series’ Tiger Eye Bubinga 6-Piece shell pack has no equal. While the spectacular outer ply of Tiger Eye bubinga gives each drum a dark visual appearance, its tonal body is very bright and focused; projecting with unparalleled attack and volume, due to the harder nature of the wood, and heaviness of the drum shell. Shimmering highs and channeled lows are the hallmark of its character.
ddrum Dios drums are fashioned to bridge the gap between time-tested orthodoxy and the latest in percussion technology. Beginning with bubinga from West Africa, these drum shells are thinner type of shell to allow the unique tonal character of these exotic hardwoods to truly shine. The outer drum shell features the character of Tiger Eye bubinga. The beauty of this exotic wood is showcased through a glass-like lacquer finish. The hand-stained inner shell of each drum creates a smooth conduit for vibration and sound to travel through, delivering tone that will ignite an almost emotional response every time it is played. The ddrum Dios Exotic Tiger Eye drum shells are also accented further with classic tube-style lugs, die-cast hoops, and a variety of unique setups, Dios Series drums echo the call for a new percussive tradition.

Beautiful set made of quality, exotic African bubinga wood. Looks like a great intermediate/advanced drum kit. ddrums have a very nice sound to them and the hardware is reminiscent of the “big brother” dw drum sets.
What the heck is Bubinga wood?
Excerpt taken from Gretsch.com:
Bubinga’s natural wood tone accentuates low-end fundamental frequencies yet still produces a clearly defined overall sound.
Excerpt taken from Thewoodbox.com:
Bubinga wood can be an amazingly wavy-figured exotic wood, sought by guitar makers and small box builders alike… often referred to as an African rosewood, although technically NOT from the rosewood family.
The Tree:(Guibourtia tessmannii)
“The bubinga tree grows to heights of up to 100′ and 3′ in diameter and grows mostly in parts of West Africa, Cameroon and surrounding nations. Trees this large can produce quite wide and long lumber.” The lumber can be pretty pricey.
“Bubinga can have multi-shaded, interlocking or wavy-figured bands of color in different shades of red with distinct purple overtones, in the more exotic samples, and fine, linear grain with greater color consistency in the balance. Color does darken with age.”
“It is often referred to as an African rosewood, although technically NOT from the rosewood family. ”
