Overview
Not a complete kit with cymbals and stands, the DW Design Series Frequent Flyer is a four-piece shell pack in black satin. It covers the drums only, built for players who move their kit often.
DW describes the Design Series shells as full, resonant and responsive, and positions the Frequent Flyer as drums for travel with no cut in quality. The bass drum carries low-mass spurs and a lightweight ratchet mount. Hardware, cymbals and pedals are not listed, and the component entry names only a bass drum and rack tom.
Who it's for
Touring or club drummers who carry their own drums and want a compact, road-minded configuration. Anyone who needs a complete kit with hardware should look for a listing that includes it.
Pros and cons
- Compact four-piece layout
- Low-mass spurs, lightweight ratchet mount
- True Pitch tuning system
- Mag Throw-Off on the snare
- Cymbals, stands and pedals not listed
- Component entry lists only two drums
- Material entry reads magnet
Performance notes
Shell construction decides the full, resonant sound the maker describes, while True Pitch tuning governs tuning accuracy and the Mag Throw-Off governs snare operation. Low-mass spurs and a lightweight ratchet mount reduce weight at the bass drum for travel. Shell depth and ply details are not given.
