Santa Monica

The Original "Santa Monica" kit consisted of a 5 piece early Drum Workshop kit buit in the Santa Monica factory.  The original shells consisted of DW  Bass Drum Maple shell in a black wrap with silver sparkle with chrome hardware.  In the "transformation/eveloution" process they have received an exotic wrap of Mappa Burl with Drum Work Shop Gold Hardware.
