Pure Maple
The most popular wood for drum making, maple is a hardwood that produces maximum resonance, projection and attack. Combined with reinforcement hoops, it can produce a more focused sound and is well suited for live and studio applications.

Specialized Shell Configuration
SSC stands for Specialized Shell Configuration. It's the culmination of more than a decade of DW Custom Shop shell technology and represents the state-of-the-art in sonic customization. So what is SSC Put simply, it's DW's recommended shell configuration that utilizes HVLT, VLT, X and VLX shell technologies. Of course, drummers can order a custom DW kit anyway they want it, but they've simplified the process by optimizing a particular type of shell for each drum size.
