Drum Workshop, Inc. (also known as DW Drums or DW) is a drum kit and hardware manufacturing company based in Oxnard, California. Current products by DW include drum sets, snare drums, and hardware. ==Expansion and acquisition== DW expanded into larger facilities in Oxnard, California, and grew to oversee a new company, Pacific Drums and Percussion, a company offering lower-priced drum sets. In 2014–2015, Drum Workshop acquired Ovation Guitars, Latin Percussion, Toca Percussion, Gibraltar Hardware, and KAT Technologies. Gibraltar Hardware was established in 19931, focusing on drumset and percussion hardware, as well as hi-hat stands and drum set thrones. Artists who use Gibraltar hardware on their drums include Rob Bourdon (Linkin Park), Chris Adler (Lamb of God), and Luis Conte. Gibraltar hardware packs are standard for current Gretsch Drums kits. In November, 2019, DW acquired Slingerland Drum Company from Gibson. In late 2022, it was announced that Roland would acquire DW for $65 million as the company looks to expand into the acoustic drum market. ==References== ==External links== Don Lombardi interview with the NAMM Oral History Program John Good interview with the NAMM Oral History Program
