THE WTS ARTISTRY SERIES
Welcome to the rebirth of the Artistry Series; our flagship line of instruments crafted with premium, American-made drum shells. Born at the intersection of heirloom quality, tonal beauty, and unmatched tuning ease and efficiency, the Artistry Series delivers an unprecedented percussive experience.
 
Premium Signature Shells Made in the USA
Designed exclusively for WTS in collaboration with Nordic shells, WTS Signature Artistry shells are carefully crafted utilizing our True Fortified Tone ply configuration. This features a structural maple core at the center of two inner and outer plies of the chosen species to provide both tonal and aesthetic distinction. The innermost ply is a vertical grain orientation, transmitting vibrations through the shell with less resistance resulting in a lower fundamental note.​
​​​​
Choose from three distinct wood options:
Ribbon Mahogany
Cherry
Walnut
​
​All shells are finished with a matte lacquer, accentuating the stunning grain patterns of the wood while allowing the drums to resonate freely.
 
Featuring INDe Hardware*
Independent Drum Lab (aka INDe) produces some of the most elegant and practical hardware on the market, and we are proud to feature INDe hardware standard on our WTS Artistry Series drums.
 
The SBMini snare strainer is smooth, light, simple, and reliable. Everything a strainer should be, nothing it shouldn't.
Ultralight floor tom legs and bass drum spurs provide better stability, lighter weight for transporting, and memory locks for repeatable setups.
BR2 suspension mounts--a sleek and practical adjustable suspension system, allowing you to dial in your drum’s resonance.
 
Innovative Drum Tuning Technology
Free yourself from the limitations of tension rods and utilize the full tonal palette of your drums on the fly! With our proprietary WTS single-point tuning system, you can tune your drums in seconds, make tuning adjustments mid-performance, and reach optimal sound and pitch every time you play your drums.
 
In addition to effortless tuning, WTS hardware is 90% free-floating, allowing the drums to resonate freely over a much wider tuning range, providing a clean, clear, and pure tone.
